For a Definition of Anchor Texts

"The idea behind an anchor text is that it serves as a foundational text along with other texts that can be used to enhance complex thought around the critical themes the anchor book."                                                     Katrina Litzau & Katrina Murray

These study guides  are intended  as supports for using Cognitive Capital as an anchor text.  Diane Zimmerman has created stand alone templates (black buttons) that  can be  employed throughout  a school year  in order keep a group of professionals focused on the book as an anchor text.  These can also be used as stand alone workshops to introduce a key concept from the book.  Katrina Litzau and Vicki Murray have share a sequence of Facilitator's Plans (blue tabs) that they used to guide a professional development program that lasted a semester.
