This session equips 5th–8th grade teachers with practical strategies to help all students—including multilingual learners—access and engage with grade-level complex texts. Participants will explore approaches such as fluency-building, text engineering, background knowledge activation, and the use of layered texts and text sets to support comprehension without compromising rigor.
Step into a hands-on learning lab designed to deepen your understanding of small group instruction using Achieve3000. In this interactive professional development session, educators will rotate through engaging stations that model differentiated instruction, collaborative literacy strategies, and data-informed decision-making. Experience Achieve3000 from the student perspective while exploring how to maximize its features to support reading comprehension, academic vocabulary, and equitable access to complex texts. Walk away with ready-to-use ideas and tools to elevate your instruction and empower every learner.
