I should probably wait — but I can’t. I wanted it to be a surprise, but I’m sooo excited, I have to at least mention a new project and some exciting news for attendees of the Midwest Literacy Institute.
We’re getting set to launch the Maiers (Online) Interactive Learning Environment (ILE), a subscription-based area where I’ll be sharing strategies of learning, lesson plans and million-dollar conversations — all in a gradual release format.
Included in the ILE:
- Anchor Lessons
- Mini-Lessons
- Graphic Organizers
- Posters
- Modeling in the Classroom (Video)
- Podcasts (Audio)
- Periodic Live Video and File-Sharing conferences
We’ll be launching with in-depth tools and strategies of the 7 Power Thinking Tools. Plus, there will be forums and wikis for teachers and literacy coaches for peer-to-peer conversations.
Here’s the best part: Registered attendees of the Midwest Literacy Institute (June 23-27) receive FREE access to the ILE for 3 months (a $81 value). That’s $81 of professional development training and materials on top of the week-long Teacher Bootcamp that our Institutes have become affectionately known for.

With just three weeks before the Institute, make sure you register to take advantage of this great opportunity. And not to worry, if you’re part of a group coming – each and every one of your group will receive individual access for three months.
The ILE will be launched the second week of June, so if you’re not coming to Des Moines this summer, you can still take part in our online Literacy Workshops. More to come…
