Goal

The goal of this project is to provide teachers with additional tools and resources to effectively incorporate interactive notebooks into their instructional routine so as to build strategic readers. 

What will be done with my students

Notebooks are an essential part to the daily classroom routine. Unfortunately, notebooks often come with the stigma of being dull, uninspired, and lifeless ideas. Interactive notebooks provide a new twist. These notebooks are filled with words, diagrams, flow charts, arrows, and a vast array of other multi-colored note-taking strategies designed to assist students with their ideas, questions, and reactions to texts in a creative fashion.

In order to make the boring notebook of the past come alive and provide an outlet for students to soar to success, our teachers are in need of the opportunity to learn how to make this dream become a reality.

Teachers will meet bi-weekly to create a bank of reading activities to help students develop their reading skills in a fun and engaging manner. By using the materials requested, teachers will design an Interactive Teacher Notebook to serve as a model for student learning. Teachers will also have the opportunity to collaborate with peers as to best practices for this notebook.
