AnnouncementsCONNECT Impact: 3 Minute “Ad”This jazzy 3 minute CONNECT overview focuses on the impact of CONNECT on faculty and preservice learners, using Module 6: Dialogic Reading Practices as an example. Look and share…let’s make it viral! Quality Inclusive Practices: Resources and Landing PadsLocate resources to support inclusion through the use of evidence-based practices. Resources are organized into 4 sections: Why Do It? (the evidence-base), Read About It (books, chapters, and articles), See For Yourself (videos and demonstrations), and Find It Online (websites with additional resources). Modules To-GoYou said you wanted it: here it is! CONNECT has created a packaged version of the modules that professional development providers can download and use. Within each Module To-Go is a PowerPoint version of the online content and documents containing all of the handouts, activities, and activity guides for the module. The Module 6: Dialogic Reading Practices To-Go is now available online.
