WISCONSIN STATE READING CONVENTION (Virtual)

We must create opportunities of “not yet,” where educational set-backs are allowed, even encouraged in the classroom. We just design classrooms that normalize those experiences so they become part of the process and not the product for student learning; that use setbacks as trial-and-error opportunities that assist students in process learning; that highlight the positive aspects of “not yet” as it offers opportunities to learn, and finally, empower students to realize that setbacks are often a beginning point to learning and seldom the end. Attend this session to learn how to create a classroom of “not yet” utilizing pedagogy, resources, strategies, and reflections meant to highlight the challenges and successes in the middle and secondary classrooms.
