COLLABORATIVE TEACHER LITERACY TEAMS, K–6
4 provides a framework to boost the achievement of students who are at or above grade level but have the potential to go far beyond. Chapter 5 highlights the last category, classroom artifacts. The units in this chapter will help you turn your walls and boards into teaching assistants; design and teach rubrics that guide your students to evaluate and improve their reading, writing, work habits, and social skills; construct organizers and concept maps to ensure understanding and retention of content; and construct and use dream boards and goal sheets to motivate and engage even the most reluctant learners—all in the cause of literacy learning.
