Getting Students to Read/Teaching Students to Read

We all want to promote inquiry and engagement in our classrooms, but how can we do that if students either don't read at all or don't read appropriately before they come to class? When students read relevant material in advance of class, class time is freed up for activities that engage and challenge students.

In this session, we shared strategies that are useful in getting students ton read relevant material in advance of class, and for helping students learn to read efficiently and critically. Approaches used by Clark Faculty were discussed and some tips were reviewed.
