National Presenter Series for Access to the General Curriculum (Virtual)
Summarization Techniques for Diverse Classrooms Across Grade Levels and Subjects with Rick Wormeli





The National Presenter Series for Access to the General Curriculum offers participants a unique opportunity to hear some of the leading national experts in education for struggling learners.  Participants will receive information on innovative strategies to support accessibility and proficiency for all learners including students with disabilities. The trainings support the Texas Teacher Standards and the Domains within the Texas Teacher Evaluation Support System (TTESS).  Join us for this unique and exciting opportunity.


Important Session Information:



Ask students to summarize and they will volunteer to clean the classroom fish tank instead. In the modern era, however, students not only have to know facts—they must be skilled information managers as well. They must get the main idea as well as the supportive details, the principle argument as well as its evidence. Marzano (2018) and others have identified summarization as one of the nine most effective teaching strategies of all time. One of the greatest gifts we can teach students, then, is how to distill salient information, no matter what subject we teach or how it’s presented, and help all students, even those who learn differently, build a versatile agency through such tools. Even better, summarization is one of very few strategies that ensure long term retention of student learning, including with students who are challenged by the general ed classroom approach. Join us for provocative and practical workshop in which we present dozens of updated, innovative, and easily differentiated summarization techniques for all subject areas, even those not typically associated with language arts. We’ll make the case for summarizing in every lesson, not just those lessons in which we finish a few minutes early. Cognitive linguistics, the world of metaphor and analogies that create content meaning and connection, will be included in the half-day session. Metaphors are highly effective bridges between students' developmental stages and course content, helping them recode new learning in terms of familiar reference points or analogs. Awareness and command of metaphors in subject disciplines is one of our exciting new currencies for diverse learners.  Join us for an inspiring and practical session as we explore how to use summarization and it’s adjacent tool, metaphors, strategically to help students improve, deepen, process, and assess content and learning!
