Join Us for In-Person or Online Training Sessions
June 27–29, 2022
Essentials I will get you and your team started with Reading Apprenticeship. Middle school, high school, and college educators will experience and learn new ways to create a positive learning community with student strengths and texts at the center, whether in-person or online. Both tracks will give a solid foundation in the Reading Apprenticeship framework’s four dimensions of learning—social, personal, cognitive and knowledge-building—and the development of these interacting dimensions through metacognitive conversation.
This course is a Phase 1 Reading Apprenticeship professional learning opportunity and is equivalent to other Phase 1 courses and seminars.
Who Should Attend
- Middle school, high school, and higher-ed educators of all subject areas
- Administrators, coaches, and instructional support personnel

- Engage students in understanding their own thinking processes—the power of metacognition
- Integrate and accelerate students’ subject-area learning and subject-area literacy
