Enhanced Core Reading Instruction™ (ECRI) is a multi-tiered program (Tier 1 and Tier 2) featuring a series of teaching routines designed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of reading instruction in kindergarten, first and second grade.  

This course will present information and research about evidence-based reading instruction, and describe and model how to use instructional routines to enhance the delivery of core reading instruction in a multi-tiered system of Tier 1 and Tier 2 support. Systematic strategies and instructional routines designed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of reading instruction in kindergarten, first and second grade will be described and practiced. By the end of this course, participants will understand how and why (a) using instructional routines can enhance current core reading instruction, and (b) how aligning Tier 1 and Tier 2 reading instruction can lead to high student reading outcomes. Topics will include incorporating explicit instructional elements, aligning intervention for at-risk readers with core instruction, using assessment data to inform and refine instruction, and implementing instructional routines that focus on the essential components of beginning reading instruction.

Join us for this two-day training to learn the Foundational ECRI routines and how to implement them with fidelity in your classroom.  The training will entail learning and practicing each routine while also understanding the "why" of ECRI.

Description of Activity:

“Imagine a classroom where students have just completed an activity or lesson and a whole class discussion is underway. K-12 students put forth competing ideas in their clearest and strongest form, even though some ideas may turn out to be more correct than others. Students explain their ideas in detail with evidence. They listen carefully to each other’s ideas with respect. Students take seriously and evaluate their own and other’s competing ideas. In other words they are intellectually engaged.

What are the hallmarks of an academically productive discussion such as this one?”

Linguists Sarah Michaels and Cathy O’Conner observed teachers and students in classrooms and created a list of “Talk Moves” including teacher prompts to facilitate high quality Academic Productive Discourse. Primarily applied to the sciences, these “Talk Moves” can be used in classroom discussions in any subject area.

With Academic Productive Discourse you can

• Boost student engagement
• Help deepen all students’ understanding
• Support students developing essential communication and collaboration skills
• Make student thinking “visible”
• Collect formative assessment data

Harvard University’s Graduate School of Education’s Project Zero has focused over 50 years of development of thinking routines. Thinking routines are sets of questions or sequential steps designed to scaffold and enhance student thinking. Developed by Project Zero researchers, these routines aim to deepen thinking and make it visible, enabling teachers to understand students’ thought processes. Students, in turn, learn to recognize and articulate specific “thinking moves,” enhancing their cognitive skills across different contexts.

Expand your facilitation of Academic Productive Discourse with these diverse “thinking moves” that can be used when teaching in any subject area and any grade level.

A copy of the Ambitious Science Teaching (AST) book is available at your school district’s STEELS Resource Library. Limited copies are available through TIU’s Lending Library.

PDE and PSU’s Ambitious Responsive Science Education (PARSE) collaborative universities team recommend AST as a foundational guide for the transition to STEELS.

FREE and 65 hours of Act 48 credit

We’ll be using Google Classroom to organize all sessions and participant sharings.

 

What is Ambitious Science Teaching?

Ambitious teaching can be learned. Ambitious Science Teaching supports students in tackling authentic and meaningful science phenomena with attention to students’ histories, social interactions, and local and global communities. Ambitious teaching requires that teachers develop deep commitments to student learning and a historical understanding of inequity in science and schools. Ambitious teaching takes practice. This research and website provides resources to develop a vision of ambitious science instruction for today’s complex K-12 classrooms, professional learning, and teacher education.

Ambitious Science Teaching is the “how” of teaching the STEELS Standards. How do I implement this pedagogy?

Questions to ask:

How is science done?

What counts as science?

Who gets to do science?

 

The Vision of Ambitious Science Teaching

The ambitious teacher “works with students’ ideas” over time. What would you experience in classrooms where ambitious teaching was the focus? You would see and hear:

• Teachers anchoring their instruction in complex and puzzling phenomena that are meaningful and relevant to learners. Teachers design science experiences so that science aims for justice and creates space for joy.
• Students engaging in multiple rounds of creating and revising scientific models, explanations, and evidence-based arguments, expanding ideas over time. 
• Teachers use a variety of discourse strategies with students to get them to think deeply and respond to each other’s thinking about phenomena, ideas, and multiple perspectives. 
• Students prompt each other to engage in sense-making talk during investigations and other activities because students are working to learn from each other’s perspectives. 
• Students’ ideas being represented publicly and worked on by the class as a collective science learning community. 
• Teachers use a variety of discourse strategies to support students in responding to one another’s thinking, build collaborative explanations, and broadly address issues of power and positionality in the classroom and science. 
• Students using evidence to advocate for student-centered uses of science based on multiple perspectives, ideas, and questions that have broadened over time. 
• Students reflect on how they learned and how they broadened what it means to participate in science together. 

 

Participants will read chapters and sometimes watch a video before attending a 90-minute interactive virtual session every 2-3 weeks. Sessions will be recorded in the event that a participant needs to miss one or two sessions. Collaboration with peers is essential as we make these shifts to STEELS. Attendees will apply concepts, strategies and tools within their classrooms, aligning one Spring 2025 unit along the way. Act 48 hours will be granted for all three components.
