Developing Skill as a Carden Teacher

Mae Carden, developer of the Carden Method®, continually stressed to teachers the importance of widening one’s scope of interest and keeping current. Taking advantage of regular professional development opportunities is essential for teachers who desire to grow and improve.

ADVANCED WORKSHOP: Enjoying Literature. July 29, 2024 8am-10am Pacific

July 29, 2024

The Carden Reading Method®  offers a complete language arts program. Literature is so much more than just reading. Using  The Phantom Tollbooth as our guide, we'll discuss tips and techniques to help students develop critical thinking skills and learn vocabulary in context. We'll also look at literary devices that convey a deeper meaning than what's on the page. As we continue our discussion, we'll see how this multi-layered teaching approach reinforces learning and efficiently uses class and student time. And, as with all subjects, we'll discuss ways to encourage students to join in the conversation and to be fearless when they ask questions.
