The Instructional Coaches of Wood Dale attended the annual IRC (Illinois Reading Council) Conference. The IRC Conference brought in literacy advocates, educators, and researchers for the 45th annual year. The coaches attended various sessions that were crucial to continuing ahead with implementing Wood Dale District #7’s curriculum. Some of the relevant topics the coaches participated in included discipline literacy and ways to incorporate text dependent questions, implementation of a systematic approach to assessing reading levels of students, incorporation of inquiry into literacy units, background on the development of the upcoming NGSS, and integration of WIDA into a lesson study plan. The Wood Dale coaches are looking forward to sharing what they have learned with all Wood Dale staff members.
