Reading Workshop

 
The beginning of a new school year often involves discussion and/or modeling of procedures, behaviors, and classroom expectations.  Reading Workshop also requires this same earnest and intentional effort as we establish norms for the classroom to ensure success for each student.  Building a "reading community" in which students are independent is more likely when routines and procedures are purposeful and meaningful to students.  Below are links to a variety of primary and intermediate examples of Reading Workshop mini-lessons with an emphasis on direct instruction of those procedures students need to have in place before they can truly begin to grow as readers.

Calkins and Common Core: Videos

Calkins compiled almost 40 video clips of Common Core aligned teaching and learning to be used as a resource to use and share. You'll see that this provides more than 6 hours of classroom videos to support teachers. To ensure that Pathways to the Common Core: Videos from Inside Classrooms can be helpful to as many people as possible, they have put the videos online in Video albums. This is the link to the website on which you can watch all of the clips: https://vimeo.com/tcrwp/albums
