Making It All Work: Classroom Structures and Procedures

Putting the pieces of instruction within a balanced literacy program together is complex but it shouldn’t be complicated. Join us in this session to consider some of the biggest obstacles in a teacher’s mind to making instruction work. When, how often, how long, and with whom are just a few of the ideas this session will tackle!

Bring your questions and bring your ideas for this interactive panel discussion around classroom structures and procedures!

The management portion of instruction is key to the instruction being effective and efficient. Time is always the biggest question as a teacher works to fit it all in during the day. The essentials addressed in this session make or break whether a teacher stays in the classroom. Having a smoothly running classroom makes everything else possible.

Okapi materials fit into every segment of the literacy block and the lesson plans and professional development that accompany the materials are essential to making a teacher feel comfortable and confident in their practice.
