WINDOW INTO AN ACCELERATED,
INTEGRATED READING AND WRITING
CLASSROOM
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 2014
8:30 A.M. – 2:00 P.M.
As Director of the California Acceleration Project, Katie Hern supports faculty
from across California during their first year of teaching accelerated courses
in academic literacy. This interactive half-day session will feature tools used
in this work, including an instructional framework for integrating reading and
writing, guidelines for choosing texts, and strategies for making sure that
affective issues don’t derail students. Participants will get a sense of the dayto-day life of an accelerated, integrated course through classroom video,
activities, texts, and assignments from Hern’s own classroom, along with
online materials developed by other California teachers.
