Course Overview
This is a fully online course offered by Reading Apprenticeship at WestEd.
Welcome to RA 101!
Greetings From the Reading Apprenticeship College Coordinator, Nika Hogan
Thank you so much for investing your valuable time in Reading Apprenticeship professional learning. This 2 minute video will give you a sneak peek into your Canvas course.
This course is designed to provide an introduction to the Reading Apprenticeship framework, its impact on student motivation and achievement, with an emphasis on participants’ practicing Reading Apprenticeship routines in the classroom.
Course activities include professional reading, viewing classroom video, posting to online discussions, trying out Reading Apprenticeship routines in your classroom, and completing a final paper. You must have access to a classroom where you can try out with students what you are learning over the seven-week period of the course.
The course is designed to be completed in approximately 32 hours—about five hours per week on average, after a two hour starter module.
All texts, including articles, book chapters, web resources, and video footage, will be provided in the Canvas Modules. You may also wish to purchase Reading for Understanding, but this is NOT required for the RA 101 course.
On the Sunday before the scheduled Monday start date, you will receive an invitation to our course in the Learning Management System (LMS) called Canvas. While logged on to Canvas, click Dashboard, and then enter this class.
