Because vocabulary knowledge is critical to reading comprehension, it is important that those working with young readers help foster their development of a large “word bank” and effective vocabulary learning strategies. The more often a child sees, hears, and works with the vocabulary words, the better he/she understands the words’ meanings. Some of the best vocabulary strategies will be shared in this workshop.

The recently adopted science TEKS affect the science curriculum both in concepts (addition and removal) and thinking. One of the biggest changes to the new TEKS is the move to scientific and engineering practices. These standards are designed to help students make connections between science and engineering, and engage in the practice of investigating and designing in order to answer questions and solve problems. This workshop is designed to increase student exploration and promote hands-on experiences as opposed to only following a prescriptive process. We will learn about the new TEKS and walk through some experiences that focus on designing labs and solutions, analyzing and interpreting data, and developing evidence-based explanations and solutions. You will leave with resources that target the development of these scientific and engineering thinking skills throughout the school year. This workshop is for Bullard ISD only. If you would like to schedule a similar workshop for your district, email James at jslaughter@esc7.net

By September the new science TEKS for 6-8 will be adopted. These new standards affect the middle school curriculum both in concepts (more vertically aligned) and thinking. One of the biggest changes to the new TEKS is the move to scientific and engineering practices. These standards are designed to help students make connections between science and engineering, and engage in the practice of investigating and designing in order to answer questions and solve problems. This TWO-DAY workshop is designed to increase student exploration and promote hands-on experiences as opposed to only following a prescriptive process. During these two days, we will learn about the new TEKS and walk through several experiences that focus on designing labs and solutions, analyzing and interpreting data, and developing evidence-based explanations and solutions. You will leave with resources that target the development of these scientific and engineering thinking skills throughout the school year.

It is important to recognize that the goals of phonics instruction are to provide children with key knowledge and skills and to ensure that they know how to apply that knowledge in their reading and writing. In other words, phonics teaching is a means to an end. Systematic phonics instruction is designed to increase accuracy in decoding and word recognition skills, which in turn facilitate comprehension. It is important to note that fluent and automatic application of phonics skills to text is another critical skill that must be taught and learned to maximize oral reading and reading comprehension. Join us for a fun day reviewing phonics activities for the intermediate grades!

Are you tired of pulling your hair out teaching grammar, and yet students' writings are just not improving? The latest research says that writing improvement is a direct result of sentence improvement - which makes sense. Sentences are the foundation of writing. If the foundation is weak, then the whole essay will suffer. Join us for this engaging session where you will learn how to help your students use the inquiry method to stabilize and solidify their foundational writing skills and move forward to embellishing and polishing word choice. You may attend this workshop in-person or via distance learning.

Equally important, explore how to integrate these components so that our students will better understand and remember the skills and strategies that we teach. Teachers will identify the key components of a literacy program in line with HB 3 expectations. Please bring your laptop or tablet and your ELAR standards.

The recently adopted science TEKS affect the science curriculum both in concepts (addition and removal) and thinking. One of the biggest changes to the new TEKS is the move to scientific and engineering practices. These standards are designed to help students make connections between science and engineering, and engage in the practice of investigating and designing in order to answer questions and solve problems. This workshop is designed to increase student exploration and promote hands-on experiences as opposed to only following a prescriptive process. We will learn about the new TEKS and walk through some experiences that focus on designing labs and solutions, analyzing and interpreting data, and developing evidence-based explanations and solutions. You will leave with resources that target the development of these scientific and engineering thinking skills throughout the school year. This workshop is for Kilgore ISD only. If you would like to schedule a similar workshop for your district, email James at jslaughter@esc7.net

The purpose of Guided Reading in the intermediate grades is to help create solid independent readers. Guided Reading is an approach where teachers work with alternating small groups of students who demonstrate similar reading behaviors and read similar levels of texts. Guided Reading is intended to teach strategies, not focus on completing a book. The goal is to develop reading strategies (do something with this text that they can apply to other texts). The intent is to help students read progressively more complex texts, initially with support and then on their own. Lessons feature a similar structure no matter the grade or level. We will review the lesson structure and strategies that students need to use during guided reading in the intermediate grades.

Differentiation. We all know students learn best when the curriculum is modified to address their specific strengths, weaknesses, readiness levels, and interests through content, process, and product. How do we ensure gifted students are being appropriately challenged by modifying not only content, process, and product but also the depth, complexity, and pacing of the curriculum ordinarily provided as outlined by state law? This G/T 6 hour annual update is designed to sharpen participants’ understanding of differentiation strategies specifically for the gifted learner. The first part of the day will focus on principles and practices that make up effective differentiation. During the second part, participants will apply the ideas and skills learned to create lesson plans and activities for use in their own classrooms. This workshop is for Bullard ISD staff only.

Santa Fe ISD Police Chief Walter Braun and Assistant Chief Gary Forward will speak about lessons learn from the 2018 Santa Fe ISD school shooting tragedy. Consequently, Chief Braun headed the response for the worse K-12 shooting ever in a Texas school that resulted in eight students and two teachers dead and thirteen injured. The 86th Texas legislature responded with multiple laws, which gave rise to the school safety legislative changes found in SB11. Participants will have a unique opportunity to learn, discuss, and ask questions in regards to the management of an evolving catastrophic event and the recovery efforts. Food trucks will be here that day for lunch.

What does your fluency instruction look like? Many readers have difficulty reading smoothly, accurately, and with expression. Since we are now responsible for including explicit fluency instruction through 8th grade, how can you include interactive, effective, engaging activities throughout the year that move those students to the next level? And how can we provide fluency intervention for those high school students who need it? Join us to take a look at direct, rich fluency instruction.
