Boost Literacy and Critical Thinking In All Content Areas | Teaching Channel

Encourage critical thinking in your classroom through essential literacy skills across all subjects – from math and science to social studies and physical education. Reflect on and design ways to integrate academic language into your discipline area, enabling students to approach text with confidence. Explore ideas and strategies to boost literacy in your classroom through summarizing skills, inference activities, cause and effect, compare and contrast, or analysis of argument. Boost literacy across the curriculum to improve student learning, and to empower independent thinkers, capable of dissecting complex ideas and forming their own informed perspectives in all areas of life.

This course format builds from module to module in a way that allows you to work through each of the essential ideas in smaller, more focused segments. You’ll find the same great resources and applicable assignments, distributed over 10 modules.
