**Day 1 Agenda**  I can give examples of instructional practices that fall into each of the dimensions. I can analyze the degree to which the RA dimensions are evident in my teaching and learning practices.
 * Welcome and Introductions
 * Connecting to our Work
 * Establishing Expectations
 * Why Read?
 * Reading Continuum
 * Causal Loop
 * Digging into Reading Apprenticeship
 * What does a Reading Apprenticeship classroom look like?
 * Close out Day
 * Learning Targets** I can describe the dimensions of the Reading Apprenticeship framework.

**Essential Questions** What does it mean to be strategic in our instruction? What does it mean for our students to be strategic readers/learners? What evidence will inform me and my students that they are growing as readers and learners?

**Interview Activity** In an effort to know "who is in the room," we will pair up and interview each other. Once partnered, find out the following: 1. School district, subject area, years in education 2. Why they are here today and what they hope to learn 3. One interesting fact that few people know about him/her Be ready to share with the whole group what you learned about your partner.

**Discussion Activity** Why do we read? Click on the "discussion" tab at the top of the wiki page. Click on "new post." Enter "why read?" in the subject line. Write a brief response to this question. When you are finished, please respond to two other people's posts.
