Democracy Reader, The discusses the elements of democracy, obstacles and strategies, and stories of success
Presented at the First Annual Literacy Coaching Summit at Texas A & M University, Corpus Christi campus on April 3, 2009.
Presenters examined time allocation among literacy coaches in the Memphis Striving Readers Content Literacy Academy intervention and assessed the extent to which teachers receiving coaching services were more likely than comparison teachers to use literacy strategies in the classroom. They also explored the extent to which the coaching was associated with the testing outcomes of students of intervention and comparison teachers. Although intervention teachers reported more frequent use of specific strategies at follow-up than comparison teachers, the treatment students’ increases in mean test scores were not associated with coaching services.
