Course Description

This PD provides many strategies for teaching sentence grammar, metalanguage and knowledge of English.

Particular focus is placed upon developing student application of this knowledge; therefore, participants will also be given content and processes for implementing formative assessment as well as summative evaluation of student writing.

All participants will complete this PD with more than 15 teaching strategies, and with the resources and steps for their immediate classroom implementation. These strategies have been developed so that participants not only develop knowledge and confidence in teaching grammar but also develop understandings of current linguistic theories and their applications to classroom practice.
