Ron Boren
Orange County Reading Association’s 48th Annual Fall Conference
We are delighted to announce that Ron Boren will be our keynote speaker at our 48th Annual Fall Conference which will take place on Saturday, October 29, 2011 at Concordia University in Irvine.
Ron Boren
Using music in the classroom is research based and can be used as transitions to teach core standards, to create an optimal learning environment, and to add some fun back into your day. Ron will share a variety of ways to include music into your instruction without compromising your pacing guides. There will be something for all grade levels including writing prompts with music. It’s time to get our groove back!
Ron has been a classroom teacher for 18 years and has served as a literacy coach at his school site. He writes standards-based music and performs at school assemblies, parent literacy concerts, and professional development throughout the United States. He recently received a master’s degree in education at California State University, Stanislaus and completed a reading specialist credential. He currently teaches 6th grade for Modesto City Schools.
Ron has presented for OCRA several times and always receives high ratings from our attendees. We are sure you are going to love his energy and ideas. Be sure to go to his website, www.boren2tchtunes.com, and enjoy his catchy songs.
