Concept-Based Literacy: Creating Multiple Pathways to Ignite Understanding and Transfer
90 Minute Virtual Workshop
​
How can concepts be leveraged to promote access, student choice, personal relevance and
transfer in a literacy classroom? Let's expand the core curriculum to foster emotional, social, and
cognitive engagement. In this hands-on inquiry based workshop, participants will think critically,
creatively, conceptually, and reflectively as we uncover important transferable understandings.
See why Concept-Based Literacy is one of the keys to designing rich, culturally sustaining learning
experiences in which authentic contexts and thinking become the catalyst to mastering literacy
skills.

Concept-Based Literacy Lessons
Moving student learning beyond practicing strategies and skills to deeper conceptual understandings develops disciplinary expertise and better enables students to transfer complex skills to new situations. We must cultivate readers, writers, speakers, and listeners who are confident transacting with any type of text they will encounter in the future, and who have the skill set needed to communicate their own ideas through platforms that we haven’t even dreamt yet.
In this hands-on inquiry based workshop, participants will experience Concept-Based Literacy in action while also learning effective tools for designing learning experiences that cultivate deep conceptual understanding and transfer.
