Education
On June 20-21, 2024, in partnership with the Meadows Center for Preventing Educational Risk, Humanities Texas held a two-day workshop in Houston for social studies and English language arts (ELA) teachers on teaching reading at the sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade levels.
Sessions included interactive presentations on research-based approaches to teaching reading and content-area literacy with an emphasis on social studies texts. Faculty presentations focused on developing students’ word study, vocabulary, and comprehension skills.
Program faculty included Diane Haager (California State University, Los Angeles) and Jennifer Schnakenberg (The University of Texas at Austin).
The workshop took place at the KBC in Houston. The workshop schedule is available here.
The workshop was made possible with major funding from the State of Texas with ongoing support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
