Hello Colleagues,
This week, the College and Career Readiness CoP is hosting Lori Forlizzi and Kate Crist, national coaches from OCTAE's Implementing CCR Standards project. Lori and Kate will lead the College and Career Readiness CoP in a discussion of text-dependent questions beginning Monday, May 16.
I hope you will join the College and Career Readiness CoP for this week-long discussion that explores the importance of text-dependent questions in adult education. Learn how to create them! Together Lori and Kate will share practical information about the role that text-dependent questions play in promoting CCR Key Advance 2—reading, writing, and speaking grounded in evidence from text. They will walk us through a step-by-step process that they use to create text-dependent questions, using a complex text sample. Then they will share the text-dependent questions that they created for that particular text.
To close out the week Kate and Lori will provide us with an opportunity to create text-dependent questions. Working with a different text sample, you will have the opportunity to try your hand at creating questions that the adult learners you work with will find worth answering.
Lori and Kate will be available, all week long to present information, share their expertise, assist community members and answer questions about the significance of text-dependent questions.
I hope you have an opportunity to join in this important discussion.
