Classroom Implications

Teachers take part in frequent, relevant and continuous professional development that focuses on the implementation of good classroom reading instruction that meets the needs of all students.

Teachers have time to work with and consult with each other, to visit each other's classrooms, and to make instructional decisions that improve the coordination of instruction from one grade level to the next.

Teachers are given time to practice instructional strategies and are supported throughout the school year.
