Description

In a rapidly evolving world of digital media and generative AI, how can college educators help students make sense of complex texts and navigate an overwhelming information landscape as thoughtful, empowered citizens? This webinar shares insights from Breakthroughs in College Reading: The Promises and Tensions of Disciplinary Reading Apprenticeships, highlighting the transformative impact of a long-term, cross-disciplinary community of practice that enhances both educator and student learning through a focus on disciplinary literacy. Whether you teach in the humanities, social sciences, or STEM, this webinar offers practical tools and innovative approaches to help students become independent, critical readers who confidently navigate complex information. Faculty leave with actionable strategies to foster deeper learning and greater student agency in their classrooms.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

Analyze how disciplinary reading strategies can help students navigate complex texts across various academic fields, and identify potential applications in their own teaching practice.
Identify practical strategies for creating classroom environments that support students in connecting their existing knowledge to new academic contexts, promoting deeper learning and academic confidence.
Create a plan to introduce metacognitive conversations with disciplinary texts to enhance student learning and sense of belonging.

Note: Webinars are free for individuals at NISOD member colleges.
