Read-On 2021 College Group Final Projects
For their final projects, participants in the College Group applied what they learned in the Read-On Program to rework their approach to teaching a unit that they had used with their students during the prior academic years. The final projects are presented as "Think Aloud" Videos. The instructions for preparing their videos are available here.
