Improving Reading Achievement Through Professional Development
Dorothy S. Strickland, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey and Michael L. Kamil, Stanford University, Editors

In this extraordinary, authoritative new guide you learn all about improving literacy instruction in our schools from the ideas — and personal experiences — of top administrators, researchers, teachers, parents, and policy makers. Professional development, these experts argue, is the key to ensuring that our students get the most out of their classroom experiences. They look at how teacher education and professional development relate to student achievement and they discuss the most critical topics related to improving the state of professional development today. Topics like . . .

  • establishing a basis for improved reading achievement in prekindergarten and kindergarten, and then what teachers in the later grades need to know and do
  • using professional development to engage students with reading difficulties
  • putting reflective inquiry to work as a tool for professional development
  • defining the role of the principal in instructional improvement
  • taking advantage of a university/school partnership in implementing balanced literacy instruction
  • teaching reading strategies at the secondary level
  • making use of videotape in the classroom
  • and many more.
You hear what the experts think we need to know and do to provide quality professional development for improving literacy instruction.
