  2. Professional Learning Goal To build state-level capacity to provide building-level support for Reading First implementation To evaluate data from Reading First efforts To build state-level capacity to use research to inform practice within and beyond Reading First

  3. Year 1 PL Activities • RCs built knowledge of research and instruction in the areas of Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension • (You can revisit these sessions through the GPB tapes) • RCs redelivered study groups to LCs, who redelivered to teachers • RCs built PL skills through video and confidential feedback

  4. Year 2 PD Activities • RCs worked with Architects on the design of PL presentations • RCs presented multiple grade-level-specific jigsaw study groups to LCs; LCs delivered to RCs

  5. Year 3 PL Activities • Architects designed a menu of modules for RCs to select from, prepare for, and deliver to Cohort 1 coaches • Coaches were charged with leading grade-level team meetings to plan for differentiated instruction on their own
