Who Wants to be a Literacy Crusader? CLC Professional Development Sept 27-28

What is content literacy? The listening, speaking, reading, writing, and thinking skills and strategies required to learn in each of the academic disciplines It’s NOT JUST READING!!!

What is CLC? School literacy initiative to improve literacy for all students in all content areas Literacy is NOT just for English class. Adds more strategies to your teacher tool box Not all CER’s fit every area – choose the best CER for a particular topic at a particular time

CER – Content Enhancement Routine What is a CER? CER – Content Enhancement Routine Routine that organizes content material that is co-constructed using student language

Where are we? Objectives and Outcomes Freshmen/Sophomore Academies working towards full implementation Data collection How many teachers are participating? 15/23 just since school has started Which routines are being used? How many students are we reaching when doing the routines? Fidelity checks and classroom visits

Where are we? Expectations Recognitions CER board Classroom visits Date used and in which class EMAIL us date used and in which class Classroom visits Invite us in!!!! We will model with first class if you’d like, then you continue with the rest of your classes Fidelity check Recognitions Literacy Crusaders – Previous/New Treat

Concept Anchoring is a Visual Device that… Preplanned by the teacher to guide concept development Is developed with teacher guidance and questioning Co-constructed with the students and active engagement Anchors new information with familiar information Teaches complex, abstract information with an analogy of something known and concrete Promotes increased understanding of critical content needed to understand the course or unit

ANCHORS Step 1: Announce the new concept Step 2: Name the known concept Step 3: Collect known information Step 4: Highlight characteristics of known concept Step 5: Observe characteristics of new concept Step 6: Reveal SHARED characteristics Step 7: State understanding of new topic

A concept or a category or class into which events, ideas, or objects can be grouped. List the Unit and the relationship between the new concept and the unit.

A basis for the analogy. And must be familiar to the students.

The teachers questioning guides some characteristics. The teacher underlines the key words associated with the new concept. Not all words are used.

Modeling an Example

Group Work In your group, using 3 concepts in your content area, think of something that can be used as an analogy with that term. Choose one of the 3 and work out an entire Anchoring table for that concept/analogy Share out when instructed to do so

Day 2

Objectives/Expectations Review Concept Anchoring Meet as a content area Using critical content concept, create an Anchoring table 4. Share out 5. Fidelity checklist 6. CUE, DO, REVIEW modeling 7. Review checklist 8. Implementation

Components of The Concept Anchoring Routine Teaching Device Anchor Linking Steps Cue-Do-Review Sequence

Cue: (ready to learn) Name to routine Explain how it will help students learn Specify what part students’ need to do to participate in the routine Do: (present the routine) The Linking steps: ANCHOR Review: (check for understanding) Ask questions related to the content: New Concept Ask questions related to the content: connecting the New Concept to the Known Concept and the shared characteristics Ask questions about the process

You have done the “Cue” part (name the routine; benefits to the students; expectations of students) You have done the “DO” part (go through the steps: ANCHOR) Now it is time to Review. Review the process using the acronym/steps ANCHORS Review the content for understanding How does the Anchoring Routine help you? What are the advantages of constructing a Concept Anchoring Table?
