Teacher & Student Expectations • Effect size of teacher expectations—.43 • Effect size of student expectations—1.44 Source: Hattie, J. (2012). Visible learning for teachers: Maximizing impact on learning. New York: Routledge.
Learning Target I can explain a three-prong, structured program for improving students’ reading and literacy skills.
Implementing a Three-Prong Approach • WHERE will this daily reading take place? • WHEN will this daily reading take place?
Begin with What’s Doable • In the early grades, increase read alouds that incorporate uncommon vocabulary and complex syntax. • In upper elementary, ensure that students close read one complex text per week, alternating among content areas: social studies, science, ELA, etc. • In secondary grades, ensure that each teacher includes the close reading of one complex text per month.

Implementing a Three-Prong Approach • WHO is responsible for ensuring this happens? • Planning • Implementing • Monitoring
