Welcome to the Colonial Intermediate Unit 20 Reading Apprenticeship™ Collaborative Network. This space was created for the schools in our region who are participating in the Reading Apprenticeship trainings. This wiki is intended to be a living document that we can all add to. We can share lesson plans, ideas, activities, and questions! Research has shown that the most effective way to enhance student success is for colleagues to be sharing with, coaching and encouraging each other (//Student Achievement Through Staff Development,// 3rd edition, by Bruce Joyce and Beverly Showers, Alexandria, VA:ASCD, 2002).

This is another tool to use in your classrooms. It is a summarizing technique created by a science teacher. I retrieved it from the Strategic Literacy site ( http://www.wested.org/cs/sli/print/docs/685 ) ! Let us know how it works out!

This is for you Math Teachers! "Guess and Check." Check it out and try it out!

Here's the link to the Strategic Literacy website. It is a direct link to the many resources available for teachers. There is also a template for any lessons that you would like to submit to them. Many of the resources have been created by teachers just like you. They have been trained in Reading Apprenticeship and are implementing metacognitive routines in their content area classrooms. http://www.wested.org/cs/sli/print/docs/685
