SAAVAS Realize MyView Reading
MyView Reading provides a comprehensive reading curriculum aligned with the Common Core State Standards. In our classroom, we will be using the vocabulary, comprehension, language development, and writing portions of the curriculum. We will focus on moving from identifying and explaining story grammar elements (character, setting, plot sequence, conflict, resolution), to making inferences for deper understanding, to identifying theme, to making real-life connections to our reading. This will work will involve a variety of fiction and non-fiction genres.
Each lesson will involve a consistent five-day routine in vocabulary and comprehension instruction to dive deeply into high-quality literature and non-fiction text make lasting learning connections. Following our reading, vocabulary, language development, and comprehension instruction, we will engage in high-quality writing instruction. Students will participate in teacher-led explicit and systematic instruction in the foundational skills of writing. Leveraging the latest Science of Writing, myView Literacy’s writing instruction integrates with reading to cement knowledge and confidence as skilled writers.

The Writing Revolution (TWR)
The Writing Revolution (TWR)
About TWR:
About TWR:
Based on the Hochman method, offers a clear, coherent method of instruction for any subject or grade level that turns struggling writers into strong communicators, deepens their understanding of content, and develops their analytical abilities. The Writing Revolution’s method enables educators to teach writing skills and content simultaneously. There’s no separate writing class and no separate writing curriculum. Instead, teachers of all subjects adapt the strategies and activities to preexisting curriculum and weave them into their content instruction.
Implementation:
Implementation:
I have attended a one month summer seminar followed by a year of professional development using the Learning Lab model. For the first year of implementation of TWR, I was provided with a mentor teacher by APS to support the development of my practice. I also collaborated with a team of teachers from around the district, taking advantage of the opportunity to observe the implementation of TWR strategies in a variety of classrooms at different schools and debrief about best practices. Following the year of Learning Lab professional development, I have continued to collaborate with three other Learning Lab participants at my school site to continue to develop the use of The Writing Revolution in both general education and special education classrooms.
