This course represents advanced study of the Fall Semester course (622). Students will continue to engage in sensitive observation and responsive teaching focusing on the hardest to teach children. Students will refine and deepen their understandings of the theoretical rationales and practical applications of Reading Recovery. The Teacher Leader-in- training will have the opportunity to observe, analyze, discuss, and directly experience the role of Teacher Leader in class and assigned field experiences, while preparing to implement the Reading Recovery program within their region, university or school district.
