TEACHER STUDY GROUPS PROJECT

The Professional Development strategies are quite subtle to employ and we have few research-based guidelines to inform their sound implementation. Most importantly, we really do not know in the real world of low-performing, high-poverty schools, which strategies are most likely to work as we try to quickly “scale up” with research based practices in beginning reading. This is the problem this project will address.
