What data are we collecting? How do we use this data to determine strengths and stretches of the class, then set goals to guide our instruction? How do we create open-ended structures to provide access points for all learners, then address those who need more support (tier 2) through extensions, interventions and supports that grow out of the tier 1 teaching? For MRLC
Day 1 of 3 day series. What counts in effective literacy instruction? How does this match the BC Ministry Definition of Literacy? What does this look like in the classroom? What do you want to hold on to, what to let go of? 2 keynotes, with breakout sessions.

Writing across the Curriculum - Middle/Senior Years, MRCLFaye Brownlie
First of three days for MRLC. Establishing a classroom where writing is integral and accessible for all students. Beginning to build criteria with students. Writing with different purposes in mind. Revisiting writing process. Several strategies shared.
K-8, one day session, as a kick-off to establishing effective, inclusive, literacy practices. With 'Every Child, Every Day' as a framework, examples are provided to put this in action.
Day 2, K-7, Professional Learning Network - Effective Learning in Inclusive Classes. Focus today on supporting vulnerable learners, no round reading in guided reading groups, spelling, sequences built from word strategies to meaning and writing, a global issues sequence: connect, process, transform.
Day 2 in series, K-5, focusing on effective literacy practices. Reviewing Every Child, Every Day, building students' ability to identify and use strategies for decoding unknown words in reading, infusing writing into the day, building reflection and goal setting into writing, response writing in lit circles.
A brief overview of 'Every Child, Every Day' and its implications for vulnerable readers. Including a whole class lesson on making thoughtful connections.
Co-teaching and strategies for teaching writing, building from classroom co-teaching experiences: co-plan, co-teach, unpack the lesson and determine what's next.
K-9 day spent unpacking 'Every Child, Every Day' and how these practices look in the inclusive classroom. How are all kids included when their needs are very diverse? How do we make these practices manageable and thoughtful?
Building from what teachers had been trying and what they still had as goals, we continued to share strategies and structures that support literacy learning for all. K-7 plus ONE:)
Based on the work in Learning in Safe Schools, 2nd edition by Brownlie and King, a pedagogical framework to support co-teaching all children IN the classroom and examples of such are presented.
Meaning-making is the goal of reading. In this 2 hour session, we focus on creating teaching reading to all students through a meaning-based approach and creating readers who can read and who enjoy reading.
What counts in reading and writing assessment? How do we align our teaching and our assessment? What is valued? Are all students included? How much time is taken? How do we use the information we collect to inform our teaching? AFL counts!
Continuing the conversation. What is going well with our vision of inclusion? How do class reviews and focusing on in-class support for all learners work to enhance learning and belonging for all students?
Balanced literacy in intermediate classrooms: deepening response writing with explode the sentence, co-constructing criteria, found poems; writing from questions of a picture, self assessment; purposeful homework.
BJF.Delta.Nov Redesigned ELA Curriculum K-3Faye Brownlie
An evening in Delta, supported by the Barbara Jarvis Foundation, with K-3 teachers and led by myself, Lisa Schwartz and Michelle Hikida. Focus on explicit teaching of reading strategies in whole class, small groups and individually, and on building a literacy community of readers who belong, read and think about big ideas in a 2/3 class.
Engagement and challenge are keys to becoming readers and writers. K-7 strategies to stretch the reading and writing skills of students while everyone has fun.
Starting with performance-based reading assessment to determine strengths and areas to strengthen in the class, helps establish a plan of action to guide our teaching. With these curricular competencies in mind, we then choose our to thread these explicit through our lessons. Read aloud and silent reading are boosted with more direct teaching.
What counts in reading and writing assessment? How do we choose assessments that support the strengths in our students and choose assessments that support our planning? Consider the alignment of values and assessment.

Full day session, focusing on reading/writing/thinking sequences, intermediate and secondary. Included: word work for emergent readers and writers, critical literacy, building background knowledge, responding to text through identity , setting, and character.
K-5 session, 4th in a series, as we work to help develop readers and writers who are literacy skilled and enjoy reading and writing. Primary literacy centres and a sequence which encourages deep thinking and provides an opportunity to listen to all students read.
Using the performance standards in grades 4-6: snapshot of where the students are, then use this to plan for where you would like to students to be. Reading and writing discussed.
2nd in a series - what counts? how do we include all learners with both access and extension? Quadrants of a thought, questioning from pictures, free writes into criteria into summary statements, sequencing sentences - time for conferences.
Igniting a Passion for Literacy Coquitlam, #2Faye Brownlie
Continuing to work with 'Every Child, Every Day' as a framework and being guided by strengths and stretches from the EPRA, several whole class reading sequences are presented: making connections in K, deepening our understanding with networked connections, exploding a sentence.
Continuing the conversation of working with class and school profiles/reviews to better support inclusion. Includes a focus on what makes a difference in teaching, 'no plan, no point' and co-teaching.
Looking back and forward at our class review/profile process and refining it to better meet the needs of all students. How do we work together to focus on strengths and stretches for the class or team of students, and use these to set goals and make a plan?

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Literacy is the ability and willingness to make meaning from
text and express oneself in a variety of modes and for a
variety of purposes.
Literacy includes making connections, analyzing critically,
comprehending, creating, and communicating.

4. • Assessment is value driven.
• The assessment you choose must reflect what you value.
• So what do you value in reading? How does this match what your
curriculum values?
5. Reading Assessment
• The end goal of teaching reading is to create readers who read with
understanding and who choose to read.
• The end goal of a reading assessment is to determine the strengths
and areas to strengthen of a student’s reading with understanding.
• All students should be able to participate in the assessment, as
members of the community. How do we support all learners in the
assessment?
6. Purpose of Performance Based Reading
Assessment
• To determine class strengths and areas to strengthen
• To build a plan of action once these have been identified
• To return to the assessment to see if teaching has made a difference
7. Together we are better: Collaborate
• Assess
• Analyze and plan
• Teach
• Reassess
• When a support teacher and a classroom teacher work together to
analyze the assessment information and use it to help create a class
plan, there is an increased chance that ALL students will have more
consistent programming.
8. Assessment FOR Learning
PBA: performance-based assessment
• Whole group building background knowledge
• Guided by the protocol
• Whole group overview of performance tasks – the
thinking paper or response sheet
• Individual quick running record
• Individual interview
• Student text – non-fiction

Literacy includes making connections, analyzing critically, comprehending, creating, and communicating.
B.C. Ministry of Education, 2017
It's all about making meaning. All the subsets of reading— fluency, decoding, vocabulary development — are important in how they help the
reader derive meaning from text. All aspects of writing — from letter-sound relationship to the construction of sentences and the use of vocabulary
are basedon communicating.
