Description:

ThinkCERCA is hosting a day of professional learning and collaboration across our Chicago-area community. We will be providing sessions focused on partners who are using our Core ELA  resources as well as supplemental writing across the curriculum, Secondary Foundational Reading and Linguistics, and CPS Skyline Science. Sessions will highlight our platform, curriculum resources, and our pedagogy, including how we support students with diverse learning needs.  Specific supports for multilingual learners, gifted and talented students, and students who may need additional scaffolding based on 504/IEP needs or even needs that are not labeled but are part of our classroom realities.
