Thank you to Winfield Elementary and Valley Jr. High for hosting ARI Coaching Community Round 3. It is an honor to support a great group of LRS’s who are impacting student reading achievement as they collaboratively refine their Student-Centered Coaching practices.

Anyone heard of PALS and paragraph shrinking? Memorial Park Elementary has! I witnessed authentic collaboration between the LRS and 2nd grade teacher during a coaching cycle as they: increase the amount of time in grade-level text and collect formative assessment.

Congratulations to RLS, Jennifer Hutchinson (Region 5), and LRS, Tabitha Moore (Charles F. Hard ES), for being selected by The Reading League (TRL) for their first Educators of Color Conference Community! ALSDE Office of Student Learning Alabama State Department of Education
