Workshop Section Details

Ever feel like whole-class novels are becoming more of a chore than a choice for your students? Kate Roberts gets it.

She's faced those same challenges, and she’s found ways to breathe new life into teaching novels in a way that engages all learners without sacrificing independence.

Imagine leaving this session with a fresh approach that makes teaching novels feel fun and impactful again.

Kate’s session offers a chance to:

• Engage all your students without feeling tied down to rigid lesson plans.

• Balance structure with freedom so students stay excited and curious about reading.

• Learn strategies that promote rich, student-centered discussions while staying on track.

Kate has taught in the heart of Brooklyn and coached literacy across diverse classrooms—she knows what works. Her book A Novel Approach is full of practical ideas, and she’s bringing her very best strategies directly to you.

Now’s your chance to learn how to tackle those common classroom struggles, armed with proven techniques that transform the whole-class novel experience.
