Preparing Pre-service Candidates to Teach Reading
Description
DESCRIPTION:
NCIL, in collaboration with BU, is hosting a series of live webinar discussions on the science of reading, literacy instruction, and literacy-related policies that affect students and teachers.
The Reading the Room series brings together education stakeholders with a shared interest and expertise in improving literacy outcomes for students. This Reading the Room panel will discuss preparing pre-service candidates to use evidence-based methods to teach reading, especially after the instructional disruptions caused by COVID-19. A researcher, university professor, and national expert come together to share their perspectives on the successes, challenges, and role of educator preparation programs in developing knowledgeable and skilled teacher candidates based on reading science.

The term evidence-based is defined by the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA). According to ESEA, evidence-based programs are supported by strong, moderate, or promising research evidence of their effectiveness; or they demonstrate a rationale that they can improve a targeted outcome. NCIL supports the implementation of approaches with the highest levels of evidence supported by rigorous evaluations.
