Are you ready to learn how to engage your learners in higher level thinking despite their reading levels and whether you are teaching in-person or online? Visual art is a text that students of all reading abilities can access. This workshop introduces the language of visual art so that teachers feel confident looking, thinking, and talking about art with their students. Learn about resources for building a library of images that can be used to efficiently build background knowledge, teach content, generate points of inquiry for research, and assess understandings in social studies, science, and reading. You don’t want to miss this four-session learning opportunity with Melanie Rick, Reading Specialist and Focus 5 Teaching Artist.
