Regie Routman in Residence: Transforming Our Teaching
November 6–7, 2008
Denver, Colorado

The brand new, highly anticipated Regie Routman in Residence DVD-based professional development program will be presented by its creators at this highly interactive two-day institute. The groundbreaking Regie Routman in Residence program provides a full year of professional development and promises to help teachers gain expertise, raise student achievement, and boost test scores—as it already has in each of its pilot sites in Colorado, Tennessee, and Washington.

Regie Routman, longtime teacher and author, along with project collaborators Marilyn Jerde and Sandra Garcia, will explicitly guide you through the Regie Routman in Residence Transforming Our Teaching projects:

• Transforming Our Teaching Through Reading/Writing Connections
• Transforming Our Teaching Through Writing for Audience and Purpose
• Transforming Our Teaching Through Reading to Understand

Regie will explain and discuss how and why the projects were developed, the importance of defining and aligning beliefs and practices across the grades, the background of the classrooms and schools in the videos, and the impact implementation has had on improving student achievement, accelerating professional development, and enhancing the culture of schools and districts.

Regie, Marilyn, and Sandra will demonstrate and apply the Optimal Learning Model, beginning with how to implement a project in your school and/or district. Participants will have an opportunity to work in small groups and to work with each of the presenters.

• Use the language of helpful response and feedback to affirm the student, assess, teach, and move learning forward
• Improve teaching, assessing, and learning across the curriculum with the content from every Transforming Our Teaching session
• Analyze and utilize the detailed Deeper Understanding charts to help plan for and guide the Try it/Apply it part of every session
