"Professional development
for teachers is the single most important decision we can make." |
|
The Foundation
for Comprehensive Early Literacy Learning provides professional
development designed to help teachers strengthen their teaching
of reading and writing. Research-based teaching methodologies
that implement the findings of the Report of the National Reading
Panel (2001) are organized into a framework for classroom instruction.
Comprehensive Early Literacy Learning (CELL) (PreKindergarten-Grade
3) training emphasizes that the instructional focus in the primary
grades is to teach reading and writing. Extended Literacy Learning
(ExLL) (Grades 3-8) training focuses on reading and writing in
the content areas while recognizing that some students in the
intermediate grades are still struggling readers. Second Chance
at Literacy Learning (Grades 6-12) training supports secondary
English, content area, reading and special education teachers
with both a classroom best practices model and small group intervention.

Professional development is organized to help schools implement the goals of the Early Reading First initiative. Parental involvement is also emphasized during the training sequence. |
