Krista this is a well though through LM. I am able to understand your program and see who the components link together. The level of detail is great. One thing that is missing is a short write up that give some of the background of the program and details the elements of the LM as you have presented it. Also have you given consideration to the assumptions and external factors that may influence the success of the model?

Hello Jay,
ReplyDeleteAll teachers teaching Read to Succeed are required to 'be trained,' but after their initial training, there are many factors which could influence the success, failure or implementation of the program. One being the effectiveness of the training and the depth of understanding on the part of the teacher. The Read to Succeed classes are to be 90 minutes in addition to Language Arts each day, but I have been in schools where they have been shortened. I have also seen classes of four students and classes of fourteen students...which could affect implementation. Student confidence, competence and independence could also be a factor, as is the case in any classroom or student grouping.
I also wanted to add that in some cases attitude can be huge! I remember one situation where a students' father did not want him in the Read to Succeed class and was adamant that his son would only feel embarrassed and punished for being 'pulled out.' The father was right for the first little while and the boy refused to participate or find any enjoyment in the program. The teacher however, was amazing and made it fun! She also knew that with time, the student would become more comfortable with the group support and the one on one help. The students were studying pirates and making treasure maps as a result of a simple PWIM poster. When his classroom studied mapping in Social Studies later on in the year - guess who the expert was?! And this was not by accident, as the classroom teacher and the Read to Succeed teacher had done their jobs in collaborating.
ReplyDeleteAnother important success factor is teacher grit and rigour! The teacher has a very important job in building a supportive and collaborative learning community within the Read to Succeed group. Using optimism, lots of praise, support and good knowledge of the program as well as continuous cooperation with the classroom teacher, she/he is able to implement a successful Read to Succeed Program.
