Help! Help!! To make a very heated and divided issue to the point I am going to try summarize! Three years ago our district brought the literacy collaborative from ohio state to one of our elementary schools. That building is the only fully funded chapter one school in our district so it has lots of money compared to the other 5 elem. schools. The rest of us have now been told that we are all going to be doing the literacy collaborative from ohio state unless we come up with another program (on our own time) that has a coaching model that is imbedded in the program. If you are involved in the literacy collaborative a teacher goes to ohio state and is trained there. We are of the understanding that the program is very prescriptive and is more for failing schools. Our building was hoping to send a teacher to get her/his degree in reading or hire a teacher/coach like many of you out there!!! We were told that that is not ok. the coach has to be a part OF the program. I hope I am making sense. This is my first time writing to our group. Waiting to hear from you highly educated teachers and mentors!
