Contract No. 095-FF10 – PROFESSIONAL CONSULTING
SERVICES FOR A READING ACADEMY FOR TEACHERS OF STUDENTS IN GRADES 6-12, is for
the development and delivery of a reading academy for teachers of students in
grades 6-12, who struggle with reading. The contract was awarded by the Board
on May 10, 2006, effective June 1, 2006, through May 30, 2007, for an amount
not to exceed $214,860. The proposal submitted by the consultant, Consortium On
Reading Excellence, Inc. (CORE), includes a provision for additional services,
site and district-wide coaching and mentoring to help build an in-district,
sustainable system fostering local capacity. The Office of Curriculum,
Instruction and School Improvement has determined a need to access these
additional services and has obtained a services agreement in the amount of the
supplement requested.
Currently, there are less than 500 certified
teachers in reading at high school levels; however, data indicates that the
greatest needs are in the areas of reading and writing. As Curriculum,
Instruction and School Improvement reviews how to best assist and monitor the
implementation of the interventions (READ 180 and Language!) and elicit
instruction in intensive and intensive-plus classes, there is a sense of
urgency to provide on-site support and ongoing professional development in the
area of literacy. CORE will continue its work with secondary teachers and
coaches, by assisting them in effective instruction through modeling of
lessons, site-based practice, data analysis, training sessions, and structured
feedback support.
