QUICKLINKS for School-Wide PD

A School-Wide Approach to Reading Instruction

STEP 4

In-School Support

Getting the transfer into the classroom

The research and our years of experience tell us that the best PD outcomes are achieved when there is appropriate follow-up in the classroom.

We have systems in place that allow us to identify exactly where each teacher is up to in their implementation and what sort of intervention will work best to move them along - modelling, guided practice, or independent practice.

Does that sound familiar? Yes it should. Its exactly what we do with our students.

We allocate 45-minute one-on-one sessions with each teacher in their classroom and help them identify their own next steps. 'Best PD ever' is the typical response.

The goal is to get teachers Accredited, which acknowledges the hard work they have put in to become proficient SharpReading teachers.

We also provide a detailed report on the efficiency of the classroom delivery across the school which is very useful for making ongoing PD decisions.

Where on-site visits are not possible we can still do this remotely. Teachers upload a video of their lesson so that the teaching support we offer in the Zoom meeting is based on their classroom implementation.
