There is a growing body of research and evidence-based findings that identify summarization as one of the essential skills that improves reading comprehension, writing proficiency and student achievement in general. The skill of summarization needs to be explicitly taught, in all subject areas in order for students to effectively create and interpret increasingly complex texts.
In this webcast, the teacher, after considering assessment data, curriculum expectations, relevant research, and what she knows about how her students learn best, decides to focus on teaching summarization. She differentiates instruction, engages in on-going assessment, integrates talk, and checks for understanding. This teacher is fully present and active in the teaching learning cycle. As you watch this webcast, think about the teacher's intentional decisions that set her students up for success.
