In this week’s episode, Snapshots features an early literacy initiative that is the culmination of a partnership between APS and George Mason University. The recently-completed program provided professional learning to primary grade teachers. Over 300 administrators and teachers participated in four full professional learning days across the year focused on early literacy development with an emphasis on meeting the needs of struggling readers with learning disabilities and English language learners.
The partnership was unique in that teams of administrators and teachers including classroom, ESOL/HILT, Special Education, and reading participated together with building administrators and GMU instructors. Teachers also implemented practices in the classroom and were afforded the opportunity for instructor-led coaching through video lesson plans and written feedback.
