Preparing Teachers to Teach Reading Effectively
The CSU reading faculty plays a vital role in initial and advanced teacher preparation. Our partners in this process include practicing teachers, district administrators, curriculum specialists, county offices of education, the California State Board of Education, the California Department of Education, the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing, and professional organizations. All help to initiate new teachers into the profession and work to further their development. For example, the CSU provides the theoretical, research-based, and practical foundations for teaching reading and collaborates with district partners to prepare teachers to use state-adopted materials and programs, effectively organize and manage classrooms, and thoughtfully and skillfully employ instructional strategies that meet the needs of diverse students. Further, because learning to teach is a career-long endeavor, communities' priorities and understandings change, and new knowledge is generated by research, the CSU works with its partners to provide ongoing professional learning opportunities for practitioners.
The publication is organized into three parts. First, the principles that guide reading instruction in the CSU are addressed. Second, the elements of comprehensive reading instruction are identified, and finally the CSU reading faculty are portrayed.
