Why do I have to read this? What teacher doesn’t dread this question? It usually comes from our most disengaged students, like the class clown or the student who struggles to read and write at grade-level. Sometimes we hear it from a student who cries boredom, or one who is angry or apathetic. When we don’t know what else to try, it’s easy to become frustrated and give up on these challenging learners. But take heart! Author and educator Cris Tovani has spent her career figuring out how to entice challenging students back into the process of learning. In this thoughtful webinar, Cris Tovani will share her best secrets, lessons learned from big fails, and her most effective literacy and planning strategies that hook these hard-to-get learners.
