Learning Goals

Reading Apprenticeship 101 will teach instructors . . . .

how to think beyond their “expert blind spot” to uncover the strategies they bring to disciplinary reading tasks in order to scaffold these strategies for students,

how to introduce and sustain metacognitive conversation in their classes,

how to recognize and work with students’ strengths as readers, and

how to bring an inquiry lens to their own instructional practices.

Participants in Reading Apprenticeship 101 will...

Identify and leverage their own expertise reading the texts of their discipline to "apprentice" students as academic readers

Incorporate metacognitive inquiry into their classroom practice

Foster learning dispositions of persistence, problem solving, and collaboration

Accelerate students’ subject area learning and literacy, simultaneously

Step away from “delivering” content and move students toward independence in accessing course content
