This professional learning course is designed to help educators strengthen comprehension instruction through the intentional use of visual texts. Using The Art of Comprehension: Exploring Visual Texts to Foster Comprehension, Conversation, and Confidence by Trevor Andrew Bryan, participants will explore how images, illustrations, photographs, and other forms of visual media can serve as powerful tools for developing students' comprehension skills, critical thinking, and ability to communicate their ideas.
By the conclusion, participants will develop an actionable plan for integrating visual texts into their instruction to foster comprehension, encourage rich classroom conversations, and build students' confidence as thoughtful and independent meaning-makers.
