Kim, I just returned from Washington where I presented a workshop called "Integrating Rich Content into the Reading Blocks." Mainly the presentation focused on how our district is creatively using this block of time to provide required reading instruction without sacrificing rich content such as Science and Social Studies and linking all information to our Core Curriculum Content Standards in Writing, Language Arts and Social Studies. If you would like a copy of the packet that was distributed, please email me off list and I will email the link to you as soon as it is available on line.
BTW, the conference was the Quality Educational Standards in Teaching(QuEST) Conference that is a biannual conference hosted by my teacher's union , the American Federation of Teachers.
