Reading Recovery (RR) in Maine
 

Teacher Training and Continued Professional Development

 

• Reading Recovery teacher training follows an apprenticeship model which combines theory and practice as teachers actively work with four students during the day while taking a two-semester graduate level course.
• Each teacher is involved in designing individual literacy lessons for their students, daily assessment, collecting and analyzing data under the guidance of a Teacher Leader.
• Ongoing coaching sessions with the Teacher Leader provide further assistance to the new teacher in teaching for accelerated learning and processing of text.
• Trained teachers attend ongoing professional development sessions as well as receive continual coaching from peers and teacher leaders.
• Training class locations around the state alternate each year.
