TELL ME ABOUT THE WORKSHOP.

Alice Nine will show you how to use an instructional routine she developed and used daily with her students–a four-part routine she calls Tactical Sentence Instruction (TSI).  TSI is a multi-faceted instructional routine that is easily incorporated at any grade level daily to . . .

practice the use of written conventions —
apply knowledge of grammar for the sake of writing and reading —
learn to analyze the structure of text —
develop editing and revision skills —
master the art of crafting sentences —

… all with a single sentence each day.

Each of the four workshop sessions is divided into two parts — Part A and Part B.  The two parts provide unique support for immediate implementation — an important aspect of this professional development event.

Part A contains the webinar style videos in which Alice Nine introduces basic how-to. Immediately following viewing of the video, you are to begin implementing with your students.

Part B contains a series of in-the-classroom student-facing videos to help you experience the routine — what it looks like and how it sounds. These videos can be view immediately after viewing Part A videos, or they can be view after you have tried it on your own with your students, giving you some great follow-through. Also, you can “invite” Alice Nine to co-teach in your classroom–just stream a video to your students and Alice does the virtual teaching while you do the in-person monitoring and follow-through instruction.

WHO SHOULD ENROLL?

Teachers and parents who work with student writing at any level. Recommended for anyone working with struggling writers. Especially great for ELLs as they learn the patterns of English sentences.  Alice Nine recommends TSI for a 10-minute activity in core instruction; however, it can be used in Tier 2 intervention, especially at intermediate and secondary level.
