Use
this page to register for High School, Middle School and K-5
training in Literacy
Instruction.
All professional development
sessions will assist you in implementing best practices in literacy
instruction based on a comprehensive Balanced Literacy
Program
Goal of the Balanced Literacy
Program is to ensure that all pre-Kindergarten through twelfth
grade students become joyous, proficient, critical and confident
readers and writers, motivated to read and write widely throughout
their lifetimes.
To achieve this goal, the
reading and writing program within Seattle Public Schools is based
on a comprehensive, balanced approach in which reading and writing
are regarded as complementary processes. Teachers are expected to
have their students read a wide range of fiction and nonfiction
genres, write in a variety of genres and explicitly teach reading
and writing skills and strategies. Students have multiple
opportunities, daily to share their understanding of what they read
and write through oral, written and artistic expression.
