Lester has published many articles and books for teachers, and is the author of two children's books, The Sunsets of Miss Olivia Wiggins, and Trevor's Wiggly-Wobbly Tooth.
- "Making Meaning from Memories: Writing and Reading Memoir in the Elementary Classroom” - Explore how the process of one writer can inform instruction in our classrooms. Author and educator, Lester L., will lead us through the writing of his picture book memoir and share implications for classroom writing instruction.
- Session: “A Close Study of Writers Craft in Saturdays and Teacakes” - Join Lester on a close study of the writing in his newest book. Learn to Identify the craft then explore and name the purpose for each writing move. And from these learn to generate mini-lessons for your writers.
Lance Gentile - has been involved in teaching, teacher training, research, and writing for nearly forty years. He focuses on the development of oral language, second language acquisition, and the social and emotional factors related to language and literacy acquisition.
- “Responding Effectively to Hard to Reach Children Whose Stage of Oral Language Development Interferes With Accelerated Learning” - Participants learn how to identify stages of language development, infuse language development across each component of instruction, select texts to support each stage of language acquisition and prompt for expansion and refinement of language.
- “Interacting Effectively With Hard to Reach Children When Stress Responses Interfere with Accelerated Learning” - Identify adverse stress responses at point of difficulty or error. Participants are introduced to the Stress Response Scale based on the research and work of the presenter. They will learn how to respond more effectively to children who perceived learning to read and write as threatening.
