Coupled with the Read by Grade 3 legislation, the first two Essential Instructional Practices in Literacy documents focused on early literacy, or prekindergarten to third grade. As the impact upon instruction grew, so did the impetus to widen the scope from birth through 12th grade, eventually adding essential practices for coaches and schools. Much of the effort, while initially driven by Governor Snyder and taken up by Governor Whitmer, can be attributed to the MAISA GELN (Michigan Association of Intermediate School Administrators General Education Leadership Network). The MAISA GELN oversees the Early Literacy Task Force and the Disciplinary Literacy Task Force, both of which have worked side by side with key researchers throughout the state to provide evidence-based instructional practices, comprehensive professional learning opportunities, and regional and statewide support for literacy educators. In its sixth year, the MAISA GELN has released <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Qu6ZYuvhqfIkkLS6oWLyBPcfWC6SHpwk\/view?usp=sharing\">10 Essential District Commitments<\/a>. These commitments articulate what districts should know and what they should do in order to &#8220;build school district capacity to improve literacy by identifying systematic, effective practices and tools that can be implemented across the district as part of the continuous improvement process&#8221; (MAISA GELN, 2021).\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0a02178 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0a02178\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3d45f26\" data-id=\"3d45f26\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ccf39ff elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ccf39ff\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.resa.net\/ela-newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/01\/framework_thumb.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1946\" alt=\"Reading Apprenticeship framework including the Personal, Social, Cognitive, Knowledge-building and Metacognitive Dimensions\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.resa.net\/ela-newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/01\/framework_thumb.png 360w, https:\/\/sites.resa.net\/ela-newsletter\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2021\/01\/framework_thumb-234x300.png 234w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-66 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-01d401e\" data-id=\"01d401e\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-833a6c9 elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"833a6c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-large\">Reading Apprenticeship Professional Learning: 2021-2022<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-832152f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"832152f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e8ca482\" data-id=\"e8ca482\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e60448 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e60448\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif\"><span style=\"font-size: 13.3333px\">Reading Apprenticeship training will be offered again this year, <i>free of cost<\/i>, for secondary educators. The federal grant, &#8220;Supporting Effective Teaching with Disciplinary Literacy,&#8221; opens participation to teachers of all content areas and encourages teams of two or more teachers from the same school. The intersection of the Personal, Social, Knowledge-Building, and Cognitive Domains frame the instructional practices and strategies that teachers can use to deepen student learning and engagement. Training begins in August with three, four-hour days of synchronous and asynchronous learning, followed by additional virtual training from September through March. Like the summer sessions, the school year training will blend four hours of synchronous and asynchronous learning per month. Materials, such as the book <i>Reading for Understanding<\/i>, will be sent to participants&#8217; homes in advance of the first session.

This workshop will help teachers develop an equity lens by discovering and examining their own cultural identity in service of becoming culturally responsive instructors. Using Gholdy Muhammad\u2019s Equity Framework, participants will develop their capacity to understand, develop, and implement culturally responsive lessons that cultivate the genius of ALL students. Culturally Responsive Instruction pursues four goals instructionally by helping students develop their identity, skills, intellect, and criticality. As students engage in culturally responsive instruction, they should demonstrate how that instruction helps them to: 1) Learn something about themselves and\/or about others (Identity). 2) Build their skills for the content area they are studying (Skill). 3) Build their knowledge and mental powers (Intellect). 4) Engage their thinking about power and equity and the disruption of oppression (Criticality). Using the content areas of Literacy and Social Studies, teachers will be able to understand and utilize a culturally responsive instructional framework that can be applied to any content area. This workshop will be followed by seminar\/practicum cohort Culturally Responsive Instruction (Level 2) which will explore implementation of CRI classroom strategies and practices in the classroom setting.
