"I can't do everything, but I can do one thing." A quote to live by when it comes to making a change. Join Director of Literacy and Instruction for Canyon ISD, Lisa Hill and I as we talk through what supporting teachers from kinder through high school looks like. The evaluation system in Texas (TTESS) is student centered; workshop, specifically focusing on the gradual release model, gives teachers the opportunity to let students apply their learning constantly. From the Professional Development design, to the implementation plan, to the support along the way Canyon is working to explicitly and systematically grow readers and writers through their instruction.
