Literacy Consultant Angela Maiers will host five literacy workshops this summer. Each workshop focuses on the strategies to equip teachers with mini-lessons, power tools, and strategies necessary for comprehension across content areas.
For seven years running, teachers attending one of Angela Maiers' Literacy Institutes have said the workshops are like attending boot camp. Between the hands-on workshop training and the strategic mini-lessons, teachers come away with an arsenal of strategies they can put to use immediately.
This year, Mrs. Maiers will hold five workshops across the country:
June 9 in Clinton, IA (SOLD OUT)
June 23 in West Des Moines, IA
July 14 in Honolulu, HI
July 21 in Maui, HI
August 4 in Golden, CO
Maiers believes by putting learners first, teachers can focus on the strategies necessary for comprehension across content areas. By focusing on the strategies and implementing them with mini-lessons on a consistent basis, content comprehension will follow.
Angela Maiers works with schools and teachers across the country, training educators how to change the conditions of learning without having to change complete curriculum. Her work has appeared in numerous books, blogs and articles.
Registration for the events can be found online at http://www.angelamaiers.com/institutes.html.

Brain,
Thank you so much for sharing with teachers information about this professional learning opportunity.
In the work I do across the country with individual schools and districts, this is by far the most rewarding.
There is a magically contagious energy that comes from seeing teachers working, learning, planning, and collaborating in this way.
There are still spaces left! If your readers have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
