Dr. Douglas Fisher is scheduled as a keynote speaker at KSRA 2013 on Saturday, October 19.
This spring, it seems as if everyone is looking at issues of text complexity and rigor. Are our texts complex enough? Do we have a strong continuum of texts across the grade levels? Dr. Fisher has many different resources to help teachers unpack the idea of text complexity.
First, take a look at this NCTE Q and A with Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey. It is a great introduction to what text complexity looks like and how differentiation can still fit in with more rigorous texts.
You can also take a look at this video, in which Dr. Fisher discusses close reading.
More resources from Doug Fisher and Nancy Frey are available here.
