SUMMARY:Literacy Minnesota: Let Routines Set You Free: The Power of Predictability in Adult EL Instruction
DESCRIPTION:Effective classroom routines do more than streamline instruction—they build academic skills\, foster a supportive learning community\, and empower students to take ownership of their learning. In this session\, participants will explore practical\, research-backed routines that enhance engagement\, promote language development\, and create a structured yet flexible environment. Through real-world examples and interactive discussions\, teachers will leave with concrete strategies to implement routines that boost student confidence\, participation\, and long-term success. \nPlease note that you may be asked to participate in discussion groups during the webinar. Please plan to join us from a quiet setting where you can see the PowerPoint slides and use your audio. \nRegister here
