A Webinar was watched at 11:00pm_ 12:00am of tittle " Literacy Success for All Students". It was
presented by Judith Centa (ELA curriculum specialist). The webinar talked about the journey how to
be extraordinary teacher not only of being a good or great one. Its important to think about creating a
plan and as it is mentioned its effective to follow a long range plan, for instance fiver year plan its more beneficial in education.
It starts from the ground up, first by identification of evidence based practices as national reading panel, extensive reading ,conference and networking and analysis of programs which must be explicit and systematic, gradual release and multi sensory. Beside to that it focus on opportunities for practice with feedback in addition to regular progress monitoring.
The second component is professional development. It is to create the why? why you teach students and as a good teacher you must have content knowledge while teaching reading,phonological continuum and phonics continuum. Moreover it is important to examine pacing and collaborative creation of pacing guides and last evidence based practices which requires different practices, languages, walking same walk and talking same talk with students joined with deep knowledge.
Third component is identification of resources. Its essential to use diagnostic screeners and intervention for reading specialists. In addition to creating of pacing guides as walking around using materials, making conservation of what use, share and know what other need to train.
