Regional One-Day Institute
This professional learning event will be open to instructional coaches, central office administrators, building administrators, and teacher leaders, as well as Intermediate School District Consultants, institutions of higher education, and professional organizations that support mathematics, science, social studies, and English language arts instruction across Michigan. Learning will be facilitated by lead researchers Dr. Elizabeth Moje and Dr. Darin Stockdill, along with Disciplinary Literacy Task Force members, to strengthen and bring coherence to the work occurring around literacy in secondary classrooms.
