The California State University (CSU) Institute for Teaching and Learning (ITL), CSU Center for Advancement of Instruction in Quantitative Reasoning (CAIQR), and CSU Learning and Development invite you to join the fourth webcast in the “Student Success in First-Year Writing” series.
TOPIC
The interrelationship of reading and writing is widely accepted in composition studies. What strategies do you have for making the most of that connection? For helping students learn from each other to embrace difficulty in reading and writing? The Reading Apprenticeship (RA) framework helps faculty support students to become motivated, strategic, and critical readers, thinkers, and writers and to engage with challenging texts. In this interactive webcast, Nelson Graff, Associate Professor of Communication Across the Disciplines, and Rebecca Kersnar, Teaching and Learning Specialist in the Center for Teaching Learning and Assessment, both at CSU Monterey Bay, provide an overview of the RA framework, which emphasizes the personal, social, cognitive, and knowledge-building dimensions of learning. They will engage participants in instructional routines used extensively in community colleges and increasingly in four-year universities to empower students to approach reading as problem solving and tap their strengths to deepen academic literacy.
Participants who prefer reading hard copies are encouraged to download materials that will be used for the webcast activities in advance.
