CESA 8 Workshop - Wisconsin Standards for Social Studies: Disciplinary Literacy

Event Description

Registration for this CESA 8 workshop

Information on all CESA workshops

The Wisconsin Standards for Literacy in All Subjects, adopted in 2011, require all teachers K-12 in every content area, to consider discipline-appropriate literacy techniques (also known as disciplinary literacy) with their students. Disciplinary literacy (DL) in social studies means that teachers are using thoughtfully chosen literacy techniques to teach students social studies objectives (not using social studies to learn literacy objectives). How do the WI Standards for Social Studies tie to DL? Very well, in fact. Learn connections between the two documents, share resources for incorporating DL into classrooms and curriculum, and review your existing curriculum for gaps.

This is part of a CESA 8 series of workshops on the new social studies standards.  Additional workshops will be on: March 11, 2019 (State Requirements), and April 26, 2019 (Civic Engagement and Reflection).
