In today's world images are everywhere and if a picture is worth 1000 words, then developing visual literacy skills in today's classroom is key to success. The ability to make meaning from images, graphics and video needs to be directly taught and positively impacts reading and writing skills. Some students have an easier time accessing and learning comprehension skills through visual methods and then can apply those newly learned skills when tackling text.

This workshop is open to teachers in New York City only, as it is funded by Title IIA. Administrators, paraprofessionals, and P3 providers welcome.

This workshop will grant CTLE credits in the English Language Learning category. Please note that CTLE credits must be requested in advance. In order to receive the credits, you must be logged in for the entire duration of the workshop, have your video camera on, and be in the frame.
