Foundation Matter: Empowering Curious Communicators for life (PreK-G5)
30 October 2023
You know literacy is essential. After all, literacy is a vehicle for inquiry. And, perhaps even more importantly, being literate can have a key connection to agency and autonomy—to being able to live a life with full ownership as a critical, independent thinker.
And yet…
When it comes to foundational skills—like phonics, vocabulary, and grammar—it often feels like that beautiful fire of the why for literacy is barely an ember.
What can you do to ensure inquiry, agency, and transfer in the learning and teaching of foundational reading and writing skills?
Join us in October for a deep dive into PK-G5 Word Study (phonological awareness, phonics, grammar and conventions, and vocabulary)! Together, we’ll explore:
● ways to build a culture of curiosity around language, vocabulary, graphophonemic relationships, grammar and conventions, and more
● resources to help you and your students approach phonological awareness, phonics, grammar, and vocabulary with joy, relevance, and authenticity—while also ensuring efficiency and efficacy
● methods to leverage the power of metalinguistic awareness and translanguaging with plurilingual learners
● powerful practices to ensure the time you spend with learners in focused Word Study truly transfers into their independent reading and writing lives
Language learning is fascinating. Do the children in your care feel that? Language learning is purposeful. Do the children in your care feel that? Language learning is powerful. Do the children in your care feel that?

Students as Authors of their own Learning
(PreK-G12)
31 October 2023
Everyone keeps saying that self-regulation is one of THE most important things we can teach students.
There’s just one problem.
Nobody shows you how! It’s frustrating, right? Reading the research, knowing the value, and thinking: I absolutely want this for my students!!...
…and yet…
Wanting it and living it are two different things.
● What’s the best way to go about teaching these skills? Explicitly? Implicitly?
● How can you nurture genuine, intrinsic motivation?
● What about assessment?
● And exactly WHEN are you supposed to teach these things?! Your plate is already collapsing from its weight…
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you had a simple, transferable process to apply and go-to tools to use that allowed you to
● ensure students get lots of practice as critical and creative thinkers, decision-makers, and authors of their own learning
● help students grow as self-regulating learners by protecting time and space for them to engage in metacognitive thinking and to exercise their executive functioning skills
● monitor and assess student progress in order to give timely feedback that truly feeds forward
● support students as self-assessors, self-monitors, and—most importantly— self-adjusters.
And: how about if these learning experiences could tie in seamlessly with the concepts and content you are already diving into with students?
Yes, please!
Well, this is exactly what we’ll be exploring together at Bangkok Patana School in October. Join us to grow ideas together from around the world, and leave with practical methods to put into action the very next day.
