What are the features of a school change model? Can these characteristics be captured and shared with other schools? How can all members of the school community work together to effect change? In this this four-part video series, teachers and administrators explore specific ideas for implementing an apprenticeship literacy model that includes on-the-job experiences in five critical areas: assessing change over time in reading and writing progress, colleague coaching and and mentoring teams in the classroom, school-embedded professional development, a curriculum that uses literacy as a means for monitoring and promoting school-wide changes, and built-in accountability for assessing student (and program)performance. The replicability of the model is illustrated across four schools and seven classrooms.
