Your Colleagues at The Education Alliance at Brown University ________________________________________________________________________________ BRIEFINGS FOR EDUCATION LEADERS: A Free Webinar Series Hosted by The Education Alliance at Brown University First title in the series... Adolescent Literacy - Key to Raising Student Achievement in the Content Areas Wednesday, May 20, 2009; 12:30 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. (Eastern) Students cannot meet standards in the content areas without strong literacy skills. Yet, content area educators traditionally have not been trained to teach literacy. A number of schools have found success in meeting this challenge. Join us for this free, one-hour, online briefing about what's working, why, and resources available to you. Includes: --Information about research-based practices --Practical, field-based application of the practices at an urban high school --Free adolescent literacy resources --Information about the success of the Adolescent Literacy Collaboratory, developed by The Education Alliance at Brown University, where content teachers engage in technology-enhanced job-embedded professional learning supported by coaches. As they learn how to implement research-based instructional strategies, participants become "literacy ambassadors" in their own schools - building capacity to sustain this important effort.
