Saturday, May 30, 9 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Purpose-driven instruction ensures that students understand learning targets and that meaningful activities are aligned with expectations.  In this session, we explore the components of a purposeful classroom, including a focus on learning goals rather than activities, the role of language expectations, relevance of the goal, and how the goal can be assessed.

All attendees will receive a copy of The Purposeful Classroom (ASCD, 2011) by Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey.

Douglas Fisher, Ph.D., is professor of educational leadership at San Diego State University and a teacher leader at Health Sciences High & Middle College. He is a member of the California Reading Hall of Fame and is the recipient of an International Reading Association Celebrate Literacy Award, the Farmer award for excellence in writing from the National Council of Teachers of English, as well as a Christa McAuliffe award for excellence in teacher education.
