Purpose
The purpose of this site is to support ISD/RESA/RESD consultants, teacher leaders, and professional development facilitators as they guide teachers in refining their instructional practice. This site is not meant to replace teacher collaboration and discussions; rather, it is intended to support those conversations. It is the hope of the Disciplinary Literacy Task Force members that teachers will engage in collaborative inquiry cycles around areas of practice that best fit teachers' current context. Starting points will vary depending on grade level, subject area, current initiatives, and other contextual factors.
