Description
Are you leading professional development for secondary ELA teachers or supporting literacy across a campus or district? This resource gives you a clear, organized way to support your literacy discussions during training.
These printable and editable training cards are designed for a workshop-style professional development session. Each component is broken down into practical, ready-to-use information that supports real classroom instruction for older striving readers.
Included components:

Each card includes space for:

• Best practices and high-yield instructional strategies
Three flexible versions are included so you can match your setting:

Easy to use for training or team planning:
