SIM Goes Online
Metro ECSU is offering a new SIM Strategies for Literacy series online beginning in October 11, 2016. SIM is an academic performance intervention that has been shown to have positive impact on student literacy. All that is needed to participate is a personal computer and an internet connection.

The Self-Questioning Strategy
(for students grade 3-12)

Self-Questioning helps students understand any type of reading passage through a questioning process. This motivating strategy helps students create questions about reading passages, predict the answers, and search for the answers as they read. Students’ reading comprehension improves as they learn to actively engage with the text. A manual to guide teachers using the strategy will be provided along with many practical examples and materials. 

Schedule
Sessions will be held virtually 4 times on Tuesdays at 3:30 -5:30 p.m. All you need is a personal computer with internet access. If a session is missed, teachers can access a recording (captioning available). Live broadcast dates are: Oct 11, Nov 1, Nov 15, & Dec 6. The registration deadline is September 30, 2016.
