Upcoming Webinars
Strategic
Instruction Model (SIM) Virtual Professional Learning Opportunity: the FRAMing
Routine
Let’s face it, many students take disorganized notes and cannot possibly use
their notes to master critical content! Regardless of literacy level, the SIM
FRAMing Routine helps students organize, think, talk and write about a key
topic and related essential information. This Zoom webinar hosted by SIM will
be an afternoon of interactive professional learning that can immediately be
used to help ALL of your students remember, organize and see relationships
among pieces of critical course content.
Note: Registration is limited. Training link and materials will be sent out to
registrants prior to the event.
Deadline to register is Friday, November 12,
2021
