Is there any schools/districts who are not invested in a "program" or series and using a comprehensive literacy model approach finding data and research providing the effectiveness? I am wondering because I am in a school that once had a balanced literacy model implemented then when administration and times changed, so did the model and they went with a basal series to provide "continuity" which some teachers need and love and left others feeling hopeless. I have been looking at models again but know that with funding issues, implementing a model in its entirety may not be the most effective if it doesn't get implemented in it entirety! So, are there any schools that have created their own literacy frameworks and allows it to grow and change based on their students' needs? <http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alan.pipes/pix/owl_t.jpg&imgrefurl=http://homepage.ntlworld.com/alan.pipes/vector.html&h=150&w=150&sz=11&hl=en&sig2=ThfRUpfK9fHyhMx4U3qM7Q&start=19&tbnid=vG7bH0vq0lf9zM:&tbnh=96&tbnw=96&ei=ta4uReiZOqHIaMypzcoM&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dowl%2Bmascot%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D> Jeana Wise First Grade Benton Elementary [email protected] _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
