Statement about pathways that explains......

• Classroom teacher/literacy interventionist

  Step 1: Set-up a Zoom or in person meeting with Dr. Donita Shaw to go over your goals and gain more information about Reading Recovery®.

   

  Step 2: Register to take a master’s course on teaching Reading Recovery®. This course will ask you to teach one first grader a daily lesson (30 minutes) either before, during, or after school.

   

  Step 3: Pending your goals, you may want to take another semester of master’s coursework. Another option is to build awareness in your district and request that Reading Recovery® become an intervention in your district.

• District administrator

  Step 1: Set-up a Zoom or in person meeting with Dr. Donita Shaw to go over your site goals and gain more information about Reading Recovery®. When ready, sign an agreement with OSU to implement Reading Recovery® in your district.

  
  Step 2: Select a qualified master teacher who will attend a year-long training of doctoral coursework at OSU. Some work will be hybrid (at home) and some will be in person at OSU-Tulsa (approximately once a month). The selected person will be your Teacher Leader to oversee Reading Recovery® in your district and work closely with Reading Recovery® teachers. It is expected the Teacher Leader teach four first graders during the training year.

  
  Step 3: During the school year following step 2, the Teacher Leader will now train Reading Recovery teachers in your school district. The Reading Recovery® teachers who go through training take 6 credits (3 credits in the fall semester and 3 credits spring semester) of master’s level coursework. They will teach four first graders during their training year.

  
  Step 4: In school years following step 3, the Teacher Leader will continue to help the district grow to full implementation, serving all first graders who need Reading Recovery® intervention. This means the Teacher Leader will continue to offer master’s training classes and the Teacher Leader will also provide ongoing professional development for the trained teachers.

  
  Step 5: For as long as possible, continue partnership with OSU to grow and maintain Reading Recovery® intervention in your district.
