Support for Teachers
Teachers will receive carefully planned professional development in which novice teachers and seasoned veterans will find their thinking and experience valued. This support can take the form of hands-on workshops, coaching, and lessons studies.
Workshops
During Making Meaning workshops, participants will:
- Reflect on the challenges they face when teaching reading comprehension
- Experience comprehension lessons at both primary an intermediate levels
- Experience model lessons that build a community of readers
- View and discuss videotaped vignettes of classroom implementation
- Learn how to facilitate student conversations
- Learn strategies that enhance cooperation among students
Classroom support
DSC staff developers can provide one-on-one support for teachers. This support often involves careful planning of a lesson together, lesson observation, modeling, or coteaching, and a reflective debrief of the lesson. This model can also be adapted for small groups of teachers, such as grade-level groups.
