THE 6-12 ENGLISH ACADEMY will explore innovative methods for working with writing, literacy and literature in English middle and secondary classrooms.  By engaging in collaborative learning activities, working with young adult literature, and examining diverse literacy activities, teachers will develop methods that will help them learn methods for differentiating instruction for students. In addition, this summer we are planning special sessions on working with English Second Language Learners in your classroom.
