Introducing

The Windward Institute In 1988, Windward began to provide professional development through the Windward Teacher Training Institute (WTTI) for educators, professionals in allied disciplines, and parents/guardians with courses, workshops, and lectures addressing a broad range of developmental and curricular topics. Under the leadership of Sandra Schwarz, WTTI set the standard for research-based professional development providing the expertise needed to teach children of all abilities in both mainstream and special education settings.

In 2018, due to WTTI’s unprecedented growth, the scope of its work, and the number of constituents it serves, The Windward School’s Board of Trustees announced a plan to restructure WTTI into two entities under The Windward School: The Windward Institute (WI) and the Windward Teacher Training Program (WTTP).

Officially launching in January 2020, The Windward Institute and the Windward Teacher Training Program are better positioned to serve The Windward School and the broader community effectively for decades to come.

EXPOSITORY WRITING INSTRUCTION: Part One Expectations to meet the new writing standards begin in the early grades and extend through high school. In this course, Betsy M. Duffy, MS Ed, Director of Language Arts and Instruction at The Windward School, will present strategies for teaching expository writing in all content areas in grades K-12. The course offers specific evidence-based techniques to add structure, coherence and clarity to students’ expository writing. Instructional guidelines will be presented for developing complex sentences, outlining, writing paragraphs and compositions, and revising and editing. Many exemplars will explicitly demonstrate how to teach foundational and organizational skills necessary to write an argumentative essay. An overview of how to plan an expository reading lesson as a springboard to writing is now included in the course. This prominent writing program, developed at The

Windward School, is based on large statistical research studies for best practice in writing and utilizes strategies outlined in publications such as the Elementary and Secondary Institute of Education Sciences (IES) Practice Guides by Steve Graham, et al., approaches from Teaching Basic Writing Skills (TBWS): Strategies for Effective Expository Writing Instruction by Judith C. Hochman and TBWS Templates by Betsy MacDermott-Duffy are incorporated with findings from Writing to Read: Evidence for How Writing Can Improve Reading (Graham, S., and Hebert, M., 2010.) This writing program can be implemented in general classrooms and special education settings. For teachers of grades K-12 Both courses are offered for one graduate credit. There are additional hours, assignments and fees. For more information about graduate credit, contact the WI prior to registration.

The Reinvigorated Read Aloud NEW

Read alouds, an essential element in Language Arts, have myriads of benefits for young readers. In this workshop, Dr. Molly Ness – teacher educator, reading researcher, and associate professor of education at Fordham University – shares the instructional benefits of read alouds and how to incorporate read alouds across text genre, content area, and grade level. As the author of the International Literacy Association’s position paper about reading aloud, Dr. Ness focuses on the read aloud as “the cornerstone of effective literacy instruction”. The workshop will focus on how to make the most of classroom read alouds through strategies including print referencing, dialogic reading, and think alouds.

POWERFUL MATH INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES: Increasing Retention and Fluency Without the use of effective practice activities, what we teach is at worse forgotten, or at best, fragmented and poorly organized.

While a number of cognitive scientists, educators, and educational psychologists are aware of effective practice strategies, this information has not consistently “trickled down” to the classroom level. Teaching new content is a major responsibility of teachers at all levels and all subject areas, but also supporting students’ retention is equally important. In this session you will learn three powerful yet simple instructional strategies that can significantly boost your students’ long-term retention of important content. In addition to retention, developing fluency with certain skills is an important aspect with mathematical proficiency. In this two-session workshop you will learn specific research-based strategies and instructional practices to promote more effective learning in the areas of computational and procedural fluency.

THE ROBERT J. SCHWARTZ MEMORIAL LECTURE EARLY IDENTIFICATION OF DYSLEXIA: Research to Practice Early identification is critical for the prevention of reading difficulties and the negative consequences associated with these conditions. Research indicates that dyslexia is a multifaceted condition.

Numerous risk and protective factors influence the development of word reading/spelling problems and present challenges for identification/intervention.

Current approaches to screening as well as new and innovative methods for identification and assessment will be considered. In this presentation, factors related to the early identification and intervention of dyslexia, as well as poor comprehension will be discussed.

Poor comprehension also represents a condition that is impacted by numerous factors. Among these include, the role of background knowledge, which has been particularly absent in conceptualizations of comprehension problems. To address these issues, a multidimensional model of reading comprehension is introduced and its implications for the identification, assessment and intervention will be discussed.

HUGH CATTS, PhD is Professor and Director

of the School of Communication Science and Disorders at Florida State University.

His research interests include the early identification and prevention of reading disabilities. He is a past board member of the International Dyslexia Association and past board member and President of the Society for the Scientific Study of Reading. He has received the Samuel T. Orton Award from the International Dyslexia Association and the Honors of the Association from the American Speech-LanguageHearing Association for his career contributions in each of these disciplines. His current research concerns the early identification of reading and language disabilities and the nature and assessment of reading comprehension problems.
