Building Better Units: An English Teacher’s Toolkit

Are you a teacher of English Language Arts who seeks to shift from teaching by genre to teaching by theme? Perhaps you are an English Language Arts teacher who teaches by theme and seeks insight into how someone else does it? Join Matthew Dixon as he walks attendees through the construction of units that are thematically linked, conceptually dense, and built around valid, meaningful assessments. This session is intended for beginning and veteran English Language Arts teachers alike, be they at the junior or senior high school level.
