Teaching Math and Science in a Literacy-Rich Classroom

This course provides support for educators as they implement dynamic mathematics and science programs that blend discussions of current theoretical concepts with hands-on math and science strategies based on PLN’s evidence-based frameworks. The focus is on integrating developmentally appropriate literacy Before-During-After lessons within the math and science curriculum as a way to enrich content learning.

The course supports teachers as they make classroom connections to PLN’s Frameworks: The Four Lenses of Learning, The Five Reading Writing Talking Processes related to science content and The Five Math Processes related to math content. Throughout the course, teachers explore and problem-solve issues of practice that arise from their classroom try-outs.
