Multiple Ways of Knowing: Deepen Comprehension and Analysis with Literary Lenses (7-12)
with Erin Tinti, Ed.D
June 26th, 2025
The secondary ELA teacher is the “guide” to the literary journey in an English classroom. However, what happens when student engagement with text begins to fade and love of reading becomes elusive? This workshop focuses on building self-efficacy in students as a way to deepen reading comprehension and analysis, thus piquing interest and engagement through the use of contemporary literary theories.
The value of using what we will refer to as Literary Lenses in the secondary ELA classroom is that students actively create the forums of shared inquiry using these theories, embracing the socially constructed nature of knowledge. The workshop will focus on how literary lenses can be used to explore any text, deepen student conversations in literature circles, and bring insight to independent reading.
We’re a non-profit on a mission to improve Vermont schools through quality professional learning for educators.
CVEDC is Vermont’s largest educational service agency (ESA), reaching educators throughout Vermont for over 15 years.
