Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two studies presented in this report were designed to test the effectiveness of a new diagnostic-based reading intervention for classroom teachers, called the Targeted Reading Intervention (TRI). This TRI Tier 2 intervention stressed diagnostic teaching as the key to helping struggling readers make rapid progress in reading in the regular classroom. In Study 1 the authors wanted to understand whether the intervention was effective for struggling readers and under what conditions and for whom was the intervention most beneficial. In Study 2, the authors wanted to understand if their intervention could have an effect when it was delivered via technology, using webcams that allowed real time consultation in the regular classroom where their consultants could see and hear the teacher working with individual children. Study 1 included 6 elementary schools in two rural poor counties in the Southeastern United States. Consistent with literature on rural schools, the teachers in this study had many years of classroom experience but their advanced education was less than might be expected for their years of teaching. Study 2 included two schools in rural Texas and two in rural New Mexico. The teachers in this study had slightly less experience but more advanced degrees than in study 1. These studies suggest that professional development for classroom teachers in rural low wealth communities that focuses on diagnostic teaching in the regular classroom with struggling readers can make a dramatic difference in the gains these children make in one academic year. With the help of a biweekly literacy consultant who worked with the teacher in the regular classroom, the TRI Tier 2 intervention found effect sizes of almost 1 in Study 1 and effect sizes of about 0.5 in Study 2 when consultation was delivered by webcam technology. In both studies there was no evidence that normally progressing children were suffering because of the time teachers used to work with the struggling readers. In addition, this study also suggests that this diagnostic approach appears to help all children equally with no evidence that boys, African American children, or low-SES children gained less than other struggling readers. In addition, the interaction between rapid color naming and the intervention suggested that children with rapid color naming problems gained the most from the TRI, providing evidence that this kind of deficit may be particularly addressed in a diagnostic teaching format. Finally, this study demonstrates that low cost effective teacher professional development can dramatically improve the reading of struggling readers by biweekly consultation in the regular classroom either face to face or by very cost effective web cam technology that allows teacher and consultants to see and hear each other in real time as they work with a struggling reader.

Book excerpt: The main objective of the overall Targeted Reading Intervention (TRI) was to help the classroom teacher acquire the key reading diagnostic strategies (e.g., Cooter, 2003; Desimone, 2009; Garet et al., 2001; Timperley & Phillips, 2003) relevant to K-1 struggling readers (e.g., Desimone, 2009; Garet et al., 2001; Guskey, 2002; Joyce & Showers, 2002; Penuel et al., 2007; Taylor, Pressley & Pearson, 2004) through the authors' professional development program. In the present study the authors employed an innovative distance technology model to deliver professional development and real-time collaborative coaching to isolated rural schools. Each experimental classroom received a laptop, webcam, and webconferencing software. This technology was used with each experimental teacher so that the authors could see and hear her working with each of her struggling readers in real time and she could see and hear the literacy consultants at their university thousands of miles away. Through this technology the literacy consultants could coach the classroom teacher in using the TRI strategies and also use the technology of grade level meetings and workshops throughout the year. Findings of this study suggests that the Targeted Reading Intervention, using webcam technology with classroom teachers in kindergarten and first grade, can significantly help struggling readers progress more quickly in all of the basic word reading and comprehension skills over one year. In addition, for the basic word reading skills, the TRI can actually help struggling readers catch up with their non-struggling peers in the same classroom by the end of the school year. Future work is needed to understand what actual teacher knowledge and practice constructs that might mediate the relationship between treatment and student outcomes.

Download or read book Reading Instruction for Students with Intellectual Disabilities written by Agatha Lee Gibbons and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students with intellectual disabilities have at times been overlooked and denied effective reading instruction. Teachers tasked with instructing such students are often limited in the training, resources, and support necessary to effectively instruct these students in reading. These problems are further compounded by the fact that students with intellectual disabilities have historically been misperceived, often by the very educators tasked with instructing them, as either being unable to learn to read or that the prospect of teaching them to read is simply too daunting and complicated to be of sufficient worth (Aldridge, 2014; Kluth & Chandler-Olcott, 2008). Such misperception may lead to insufficient and/or misguided instruction of these students limiting their potential learning and growth (Kliewer, Biklen, & Kasa-Hendrickson, 2006). This qualitative case study explored the perceptions and lived experiences of eight special education teachers from five different school districts, who both worked with students with intellectual disabilities and mentored preservice teachers who worked with students with intellectual disabilities in the area of reading. This study focused on the perceptions of these special education teacher/mentors before, during and after receiving training in the Targeted Reading Intervention (TRI) program, based on five areas of reading: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Vocabulary, Fluency, and Vocabulary. Data suggested a universal lack of support and training in reading for these special education teacher/mentors. Changes of perceptions and teaching practices of the special education teacher/mentors relative to explicit reading instruction for students with intellectual abilities are explored. Implications for practice are included.

This book was released on 2023-01-23 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional learning (PL) opportunities are essential for PreK–12 literacy educators, but too often these efforts fail to help teachers develop and deeply engage with their work. This forward-looking book describes keys to providing effective, sustainable literacy PL that values teachers over test scores and capitalizes on social networks and communities. The volume presents case studies of transformational initiatives tailored to culturally and linguistically diverse populations of teachers and students, varying school resources, urban or rural settings, and other factors. Issues of access and equity are emphasized throughout the book's discussions of innovative in-person, hybrid, and remote PL models. The companion website features 11 brief videos in which chapter authors provide engaging commentary on their respective topics.
