| During this interactive presentation, Diane Waff, Senior Program Associate with the Strategic Literacy Initiative at WestEd, and Cathleen Kral, Instructional Leader for Literacy with Boston Public Schools, will share characteristics of successful school and district professional development initiatives that help teachers acquire the knowledge and skills needed to become teachers of other teachers. The presenters also will discuss features of effective literacy coaching at one culturally diverse high school and in a large urban school district. These examples show the importance of using a strong conceptual framework such as the Reading Apprenticeship® model to inform the work, develop a supportive professional learning community, and promote teacher leadership. All are key components of an integrated approach to improving student learning and achievement. | |
