 DISCUSSION 1

Working with Support Staff

Within your school there may be supporting staff such as reading specialists, special education teachers, and/or gifted and talented leads. When and how should you work with these specialists in order to create intervention or enrichment programs? What role should they play in your classroom?

Use your knowledge from the previous readings about choosing appropriate texts and your information from assignment one where you described how you would prompt parents to choose quality literature. Describe how you will analyze literary text structures and elements and provide your rationale for choosing these pieces of literature.

DISCUSSION 2

Paraprofessionals and Classroom Volunteers

Based on this article and the readings in Book Buddies: A Tutoring Framework for Struggling Readers, describe the steps involved in training paraprofessionals and volunteers to work in your classroom. What are the key components that this training should include? Compare and contrast any differences in the trainings.
