Teacher Leader Training

• Teacher leaders are selected by their districts for the local leadership role in Reading Recovery® training and implementation. Teacher leaders’ training involves one year of graduate level study at TWU. During that year, teacher leaders:
• Teach four children daily
• Study theories related to literacy acquisition
• Learn Reading Recovery® procedures
• Engage in field activities with experienced teacher leaders
• Examine implementation issues
• After training, these leaders return to their home districts and train Reading Recovery® teachers
