The Making of the Minute Masters: Pre-Service Teachers' First Steps to Become Novice Conference Presenters and Leaders of Literacy
Colvin, Lisa; Fox, Anna; Adler, Jeremy; Brown, Jodi; Steffek, Evelyn
Texas Association for Literacy Education Yearbook, v4 p58-66 Oct 2017
As previous Texas Association for Literacy Education presenters and university instructors of literacy, the professors highlighted in this chapter knew the value of presenting at the annual conference and wanted to extend that opportunity to their students, challenging them to not only attend a state literacy conference but to also collaborate and participate as co-presenters. Three pre-service teachers embraced this opportunity and were involved in all phases of conference presentation planning. Design and delivery focused on early childhood literacy, specifically the Big 5 components of early reading success identified by The National Reading Panel (2000): phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, comprehension, and vocabulary, and how teachers can utilize spare minutes and transition times during the day to teach and reinforce these critical concepts. The pre-service teachers researched and planned their portions of the session, presented their literacy activities at the conference with participants in a station teaching format, and then reflected on the experience.
