How do we decide what and what not to teach? With increased expectations and so little time to meet them, we might heed the words of Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Bob Seger, who asks us to carefully consider our "deadlines and commitments—what to leave in, what to leave out." In this workshop, Kelly will share effective comprehension strategies from his books and discuss critical decisions that underpin artful teaching, and how these decisions help to move young readers and writers closer to excellence.
