As a Reading Recovery Tutor
For Otago, based at North East Valley Normal School, Dunedin.
I work with teachers who are training to be Reading Recovery teachers in their schools. They are offered intensive fortnightly Professional Development over a full year in Literacy theory, Assessment, Observation, gaining an in-depth understanding of reading and writing processes, and designing and implementing series of lessons for individuals.
My experience includes
Implementing Reading Recovery training to teachers across the region focussed on achieving accelerated progress for six year old learners who have reading and writing difficulties.
Providing ongoing guidance to teachers who work to develop productive partnerships with classroom teachers and whānau. I support Reading Recovery teachers to use reflective theory and practice to strengthen and personalise teaching to help individual children.
