This workshop will focus on Kindergarten through Second Grade reading levels and will help participants learn how to maximize these 15-20 minute groups through targeting planning, time management, organization, effective assessment and decision-making, and powerful, focused teaching. Participants will view and analyze videos, and will receive ideas and resources to use immediately in their small group instruction.
