Professional development that prepares teachers, coaches, and administrators in the essential components of reading curriculum, instruction, and assessment is a critical part of a school's reading program. Asking teachers to teach in ways that support highest student achievement means that they need opportunities for deep learning of content and strategies, along with ample opportunities to practice and observe the effects on student learning.
