Bridging Research to Practice – 2008-09 Workshops for K-6 School Improvement in Reading

The purpose of these series of workshops is to help school leaders and teachers in grades K-6 learn how to use scientifically based reading instruction to improve reading achievement. It is for a team of elementary school staff (administrators, classroom teachers, reading resource teachers, ELL teachers, and special education teachers) who would like to learn how to implement the research-validated School Change in Reading Framework (developed by Professor Barbara Taylor and associates) within their buildings. The sessions will focus on organizational change and the development of shared leadership and school-wide collaboration.
