In this edWebinar, ELA educators and leaders learn about how the Science of Reading and Learning Science has practical application in English and language arts instruction to help support all learners at the middle and high school levels.

- Engaging in collaborative discussions
- Utilizing effective annotation and notetaking skills for collecting text-based evidence
- Integrating language and writing using choice in project-based assessments
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to middle and high school teachers, school and district leaders, department chairs, and curriculum leaders.
