WELCOME!



Welcome to our first online class day.  Last week we began to define reading and explored the complex process of reading.  This week I invite you to reflect on your reading identity, begin to understand the needs of adolescent readers and to start to explore a connection that can empower you as an educator.  The connection I want you to think about is the power of a teacher understanding the reading process with the knowledge of adolescent readers and your understanding of your reading identity and how this may impact you as a teacher.

Essential Questions:

  1. Who are we in this KSP629 learning group?
  2. What are the requirements and structure of the online portion of this course?
  3. Who are you as a reader?
  4. Who are adolescent readers? What are their unique instructional needs in the content area classroom?
  5. As a teacher how will you invite your students to expand the identities they bring to the classroom to include academic and specific disciplinary identities?
  6. How can the knowledge of the reading process, adolescent readers and yourself as a reader within a unique discipline can empower you as a content teacher?
