Audience: Secondary level librarians and teachers in the ONC BOCES region

Chris Sperry, award-winning teacher, co-founder of Project Look Sharp, and co-author of Teaching Students to Decode the World, will engage participants in a practical model for media decoding that can be integrated at all grade levels and subjects. This question-based approach uses rich media documents - from blogs to books and paintings to Pinterest - to motivate all students to learn core IFC and subject area standards.

In the afternoon participants will review free classroom-ready lessons and PD materials, individually, in teams, or small groups to create plans for implementing this work.
In addition to the December 15 in-person workshop, there will be 3, 1-hour virtual follow-up sessions in April, June, and November 2023, whereby participants will share with their cohort their successes and challenges with the process, and will receive collegial feedback.
