Improving Adolescent Literacy in Rural Schools: A Schoolwide Approach
This is the second in a series of webinars especially designed to assist rural school staff with implementation of their School Improvement Grants (SIGs).
The intended audience for this webinar includes all educators engaged in or interested in improving literacy instruction for adolescents—grades 6–12. The presenters were Dr. Debby Houston Miller and Vicki LaRock from the Center on Instruction's Literacy Team. During this one hour webinar, presenters focused on the following guiding questions:
What are the major goals of adolescent literacy instruction?
What research-based instructional practices support adolescent literacy development?
What resources are available to help school staff members learn about and implement a schoolwide approach to improving adolescent literacy?
