Pre-Symposium Workshops
Reading Apprenticeship
Friday, March 13, 2020 - 9am-12pm
Facilitated by Nelson Graff
Working with the texts of our discipline is an “insider’s” game. Our students often feel painfully outside of our disciplinary traditions, conventions, and practices, but we can invite them in! When we build on students' underestimated strengths as readers and problem solvers and create instructional opportunities for "apprenticing" them into discipline-specific academic literacies, we can create engaged, equitable learning environments that also support robust disciplinary learning. We’ll begin to explore HOW in this session. Specifically, participants will be invited to:

An Introduction to Inquiry-Based Learning
Friday, March 13, 2020 - 9am-12pm
Facilitated by Stan Yoshinobu and Robin Wilson
Inquiry based learning (IBL) is a form of active learning that challenges students to work individually or in small groups to solve and make sense of carefully sequenced problems. This workshop will provide an introduction to IBL methods. While examples will be sourced from math courses, the active, student-centered instructional methods can be applied to a wide range of course. Specifically this workshop will provide opportunities for participants to:

We’ll begin to explore HOW in this session. Specifically, participants will be invited to:
- become aware of their own and others’ reading processes and to see reading as a problem-solving activity,
- learn about Reading Apprenticeship as an instructional and equity framework, and
- participate in activities that can be used in the classroom to help us analyze students' reading, talking, and writing about their reading in ways that promote equity by surfacing and fostering students' strengths.

This workshop will provide an introduction to IBL methods. While examples will be sourced from math courses, the active, student-centered instructional methods can be applied to a wide range of course. Specifically this workshop will provide opportunities for participants to:
- learn about IBL classes via video case study
- discuss ways to engage students
- investigate sample course structures and
- explore Think-Pair-Share as a general strategy.
