PARCC ELA Prep: 
Essential Literacy Work
Oct. 2, 20179 am - 3 pm at FEA
Presenter: Sarah Tantillo, Ed.D.
This session will lay out fundamental literacy work your students need to engage in — addressing the comprehension process, how to teach paraphrasing, how to teach close reading, etc. 
Fee: $149

Always a quality experience with quality instructors at these workshops. Despite being a little bit longer travel for a workshop that you may be used to, it is an experience and an education as well worth it. And nine times out of 10 they actually offer you lunch at these workshops In Monroe.  (inquire before signing up if you like)
