Reading WRITE!

Language Arts Summer Institutes

At each Summer Institute, participants will make-and-take everything they need to implement the curriculum in their classroom. All of the tactile games and activities will be organized into a bucket for ease of use and classroom implementation. By the end of the week, each bucket will be full of individual activities, small group games, and whole group manipulatives. How amazing will it be to start your school year with everything you need for reading or writing assembled and ready to go? Each participant will receive 200 pages of black-line curriculum masters at the Teach Big Conference Center and Retreat. You will begin the day with fresh, complimentary breakfast, and two hand-made snacks will be prepared with creativity in mind. The pampering you will receive on our campus will be just as memorable as the incredible content. If you choose to stay on campus for lunch, we have a menu on site that is sure to delight! Our trainings will be complete with rubrics that assess content areas in which you may take a concrete grade, but also those that are abstract. These easy-to-use rubrics will assess general communication skills, listening skills, and speaking skills. Throughout the week, you will have the opportunity to participant in voluntary competitions. Not only will you will walk away with great ideas that will translate into your classroom, but you may win some great prizes that will grow your curriculum and classroom support even more.
