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 for 2009-10 are already underway. Please check this web site in Spring of 2010 for information about the 2010-2011 sessions. You can read descriptions of the 4 different focus areas by clicking this link.
