=Cultivating Thinking to Build Equity in a PreAP/AP Program=

Course Description
==This is a workshop for Language Arts teachers to receive hands on instruction on determining ways to develop and deliver high-level learning and thinking strategies (evaluation, synthesis and analysis) especially to under-represented students so that they can achieve greater successes academically. Primary focus will be at building these critical thinking skills at the middle school level while using the content area of Language Arts as a vehicle for these approaches to learning. ==
