  1. Doing a READ 180: Reading Success with Technology for All Learners

  2. READTECH What is it? • 90-minute class periods • reduced class size • students engaging in daily instructional reading • students engaging in daily modeled or independent reading practice • students receiving daily individual or small-group teacher instruction

  3. Demonstration • READ 180 • Demonstration disk available from Scholastic.com

  4. READ 180 - A Pilot Study • Eleven Students - Experimental • Eleven Students - Control • Characteristics • Bi-Polar • Psychotic Behavior • ODD • Intermittent explosive behavior • ADHD with psychotic episodes • A-typical autism

  5. Pilot Study • Two classes began the program in October 2001. The control class could not sustain the intervention and the teacher returned to traditional reading instruction (teacher directed) after the first week. The experimental group continued with the READ 180 program as well as an adapted behavior management program.

  8. Practical Outcomes • 799 pages - 26 books • 715 pages 30 books • 979 pages - 12 books • 822 pages - 7 books • 919 pages - 14 books

  9. Additional Outcomes - Experimental • Student motivation • Behavior modification • Interest in re-testing • Interest in outside reading • Re-integration back to the general curriculum classroom • Reduced incidents of explosive behavior • Teacher • Technology Interest • Increased expectations • Behavior modification

  10. Next Steps • Currently collecting data on special and general education teachers across three schools. • Integrated a technology survey and observation to understand technology implications. • Plan to bring three additional schools online in the next 6-8 months. • Developing an technology-based support environment (online) to assist teachers in integrating READ 180.

  11. The Problem? • How to support teachers after initial training? • How to connect them with rich resources? • How to share ‘best practices’ and other success stories? • How to respond to Teacher concerns… • What can I expect? • Why am I doing this? • How do I organize all this?

  12. The Solution: • Enhance Training Model • Currently - Minimum 2 day training. • Proposed - Online supplement to READ 180 training.
