The 7-12 RUSD ELA Team: Anesha Camacho, Lisa Kells, Lorrie Cobain-Danelski, Sarah Smith, Courtney Hanes
We had the opportunity to both attend and present at the 2016 California Association for Teachers of English (CATE) Conference last month in Costa Mesa, Ca. We were energized by speakers such as Kelly Gallagher and Nancy Fisher and Douglas Frye. We were inspired by the crowded hallways and fluid conversations happening about poetry, analysis, and the various paths our fellow districts are taking when in comes to the implementation of Common Core. Mostly, we were excited to share what we have been doing for the past two and a half years in Riverside Unified.
We led three sessions at the conference, and because we love sharing, here are our presentations:
We are continuing the conversation with some of our attendees, and look forward to ongoing collaboration with our fellow California educators, and beyond.
If you have any questions about anything you see here, just let us know!
