Compelling Question: How do I creatively and effectively engage elementary students in reading and writing activities?
Background
Throughout this program, I have been exploring different ways to engage my elementary students and promote their literacy development. This website outlines how my coursework has influenced my development as a literacy specialist. Everything I have learned falls into four themes:
1-New Literacies and Media
2-Global Learning
3-Teachers as Researchers
4-Teachers as Leaders
Navigate this site to see what has inspired me through my journey to better engage and instruct my students. Each page offers one part of the answer to my compelling question; I can creatively and effectively engage students in reading and writing activities by using technology, focusing on global perspectives, using teacher research to guide my practice, and leading both in and outside of my classroom.
