Collaborative Strategic Reading (CSR) is a research-validated instructional model designed to improve reading comprehension and content learning in general education and intervention settings in grades 4-12. Participants will learn to teach the core components of CSR (before, during, and after reading strategies); facilitate student-led text-based discussions; use CSR to support students with diverse learning needs including English learners in heterogeneous classrooms; and plan for successful integration of CSR into existing structures. Webinar sessions are offered every other week to allow participants the opportunity to implement specific CSR strategies and receive feedback from the presenter. Materials needed to implement CSR are provided.
Intended Audience: Intended for general education teachers in Grades 4-12 in language arts, social studies and science who teach in heterogeneous classrooms that include students with a range of learning and language needs and specialists who teach reading comprehension and language development.
