During this session, we will share our initial thinking about how to move selected components of Fusion Reading into the general education classroom. We will focus on tow interventions: the Fusion Reading Vocabulary process and using Thinking Reading as a framework for content teachers to describe, demonstrate, and guide students in the use of general reading strategies that are content-area specific. If you are interested in a creative experience with the opportunity to engage in the further development of Level 1 strategies, this session is for you.

The overriding objective for this session is to present the Fusion Reading curriculum.

Fusion Reading is a comprehensive program that includes strategies for increasing reading motivation, decoding, word identification and fluency. Additionally, the program includes reading comprehension strategies for paraphrasing, summarizing, generating questions, drawing inferences, and recognizing text structures as well as a vocabulary component that focuses n learning vocabulary in context and through class discussion. The instructional methodology is based ion explicit instruction with extensive practice and feedback on student learning of reading skills and strategies.

2019 SIMposium
Our students come to us with diverse backgrounds and strengths. In Culturally Relevant Teaching we leverage students’ diverse cultural knowledge, experiences, outlook, and performance styles to make learning more meaningful and thus, more effective for them. This approach requires a student-centered rather than teacher-centered model. In this session, deepen your understanding of Culturally Relevant Teaching, and explore how SIM can support a student-centered classroom where honoring the uniqueness of each student strengthens learning for all.

SIM Professional Developers are invited to attend this session as partners in a research project. The research project will attempt to answer questions about teachers' implementation and fidelity of implementation given varying levels of support as well as learning about how much support is necessary to impact students. In this session, you will learn about the study, the activities and level of commitment required from professional developers to participate this fall.

2019 SIMposium
“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” – Helen Keller.
Generating positive, on-going school change requires the concerted efforts of a highly functioning leadership team. But when the team gets stuck, change can stall. This session will focus on tips for building successful teams, and participants will begin to create a toolbox of activities for effective team development, problem solving and action planning.
- Literacy Leadership Team: Finding Direction (01:18:28)
2012 SIM Conference
Sue Woodruff, Independent Professional Developer, Muskegon, MI -
School leaders are looking for help in redesigning their approach to literacy in secondary schools. When they look to us, SIM Professional Developers, it is critical that we prepare a school for success. Prior to any journey, much work is done in planning, preparing, educating, and training everyone involved. New routes must be explored. Detours and directions must be examined. The Common Core Standards are causing most schools to reexamine previous routes to literacy as the way is becoming more and more challenging for all students. What SIM Professional Developers and CLC Team Members have learned over the past twelve years is that this very preparation is critical not only to the ongoing school-wide effort, but more importantly to the continuity of literacy work in a school. This session will provide a forum to have dialogue about the roles and responsibilities of a SIM Professional Developer when working with a school, the roles and responsibilities of the team itself, and have some time to take a look at a variety of activities actually used with Literacy Leadership Teams that are now available to the network.
