Discover new ways to inspire students toward greater learning. In this research-driven edWebinar, Kevin Baird, Chairman and Senior Faculty Member at the Center for College & Career Readiness, goes beyond Lexile® scores to explore two often overlooked keys to increasing literacy – motivation and engagement.

Literacy is driven not only by differentiation to skills, but also by differentiation to interests and passions. In this session, Kevin Baird reviews both the research and new methods for engaging the hearts and minds of all learners while differentiating content according to each student’s skill level, learning temperament and learning pace.
