  1. Adolescent Literacy Community of Practice

  2. Today’s Plan • Provide background on DWW as a • resource for evidence-based practice • Explain structure and features of DWW • Describe how others are using DWW

  3. Goal of Doing What Works Translate research-based practices into examples and practical tools that support and improve classroom instruction

  4. Home Page • Free resource from the U.S. Department of Education • Developed by WestEd, AIR, and RMC • Starts with IES research reviews • Builds a bridge from research to action

  5. Literacy Topics Preschool Language and Literacy Teaching Literacy in English to K-5 English Learners Response to Intervention in Primary Grades Reading Adolescent Literacy Coming soon: Improving K-3 Reading Comprehension

  6. Practice Guides WWC Practice Guides

  7. Research to Practice Translation Path Practice Guides: Research Reviews with Expert Consensus • Videos, Audios, Slideshows • Sample Materials • Tools and Templates Key Actions and Supporting Conditions Practice Statements Other Major Research Reports: WWC, NMP Field Knowledge

  8. Knowledge Use Research

  9. LEARN about the Topic: Adolescent Literacy Practices

  10. Engaging Text Discussion Provide opportunities for extended text discussion and student engagement. • Intensive Intervention • Provide intensive intervention • for struggling readers and • monitor all students' reading • progress.

  11. For Each Practice...

  12. For Each Practice... • Research base andkey concepts • Expert interviews • School site videos and slideshows • Interviews and sample materials from schools • Ideas for action • Tools and templates to implement practices

  13. SEE How It Works Classroom videos and Flashlites Audio interviews Video interviews Materials: examples Lesson Plans and assignments, graphic organizers, Protocols—data meetings, student work reviews Guidance—standards, course descriptions Evaluation tools Informational handouts

  14. SEE the Practice: Academic Intervention Class

  15. DO What Works Tools • Learn more—workshops, staff meeting awareness sessions, varied models of implementation • Observations • Self-assessment--reflection, inventories, content audits • Planners—lesson plans, professional development, selection among alternatives • Analysis—error analysis, alignments Planning Templates Ideas for Action

  16. Use a Tool: Observe Text Discussion • Part I – Observation Activity: • Watch two teachers facilitate text discussions. • Talk about what you observe.

  17. DO Classroom Planning: Use a Tool • Planning Activity: • How will you structure the text discussion? • How will you support students with this process?

Examples of Using the Inventories • Math—building vocabulary • Social Studies—scaffolding comprehension; student driven-discussions; pair-share guidelines • Science—metacognitive logs • Literature/humanities —roots/meanings in Greek myths; literature circles; reciprocal teaching with comprehension; scaffolding discussion; academic literacy • Reading—explicit vocabulary with English learners • Schoolwide—vocabulary across content/learning packets; graphic organizers across content areas; district literacy framework

  21. Getting the Word Out --include in teacher preparation courses --structure online coursework --train graduate students to provide professional development --incorporate into online platforms: professional development schools; statewide rollout of practice; self-paced modules --prepare coaches in statewide standards --illustrate Common Core standards --provide intense professional development
