Let me start by saying that I'm in awe of all the outstanding educators on this site. Your advice, teaching strategies, and passion for teaching are truly inspiring! Now for the question. I am a second year literacy coach in a district that is not buying into the literacy block required by the state. (We did not make AYP.) Furthermore, the K-4 teachers have gigantic class sizes and lots of behavior problems, in addition to many, many weak students. As a result, teachers seemed to have lost sight of the big picture and their instruction has become mediocre and one-size-fits-all. I want to begin an after school study group to reignite the flame for these teachers. Any suggestions of where to begin? Topics I'm thinking of include comprehension strategies (possibly MOT of STW), vocabulary, readers/writer's workshop. . . I'm open to additional ideas and would love to hear how you've conducted study groups in your buildings. Thank you!
