Participants will explore high-impact strategies and planning tools to ensure that both content areas are taught with depth and purpose—without doubling the workload. Participants will:
- Explore the overlap between RLA and Social Studies skills-based TEKS.
- Learn strategies for integrating social studies content into reading and writing instruction.
- Practice planning lessons that build background knowledge while reinforcing key literacy skills.
- Leave with ideas that support student success in both content areas.
