Thank you for the responses. In response to gatorgal...I can tell this is close to your heart. What is the history of your district's or campus work with literacy coaches? This is the first year in our district that the notion
of reading specialists moving towards more of a coaching role and it is only the second year that the district is just learning about a comprehensive balanced literacy framework. Needless to say this role of mine will be a completely new concept for many not just on the campus level but district level as well. I guess you might say I'll be a bit of a guinea pig :-/ Which is why I'm
trying to be as thoughtful as possible not only about what's best for students but earning the trust of staff members and administration too. I agree with you that decisions should be data driven and all the current research certainly backs that notion. As I mentioned we will also be piloting Response to Intervention (first time for the district and campus) so my role with assessment and documentation will be big. What assessments do you currently use? How do you document?
I think I might try posting a new message and survey teachers who have worked with pull out vs. push in models and survey there thoughts.
Thanks for your feedback, if anyone reading this can offer more I'd love to hear it:)
