Literacy Center Design

You know that students need time and space to practice and transfer instruction in real time. But, something isn’t quite right with your literacy centers. In this practical badge, we will discuss teacher management demands and provide center design strategies that maximize student engagement.

Join LitLife as we show you how to implement purposeful, standards-aligned, and appropriately challenging literacy centers that actually create the conditions for you to meet with small groups, provide immediate feedback, and assess student progress. Together, let’s replace the stress and overwhelm of managing literacy centers with joy, independence, and actual learning.
