Supplemental Reading Program Through Teacher Training
In addition to tutoring, Bristol Standard offers Reading on Rails™ as a comprehensive supplement reading training program that can transform a school’s reading initiatives. Through our teacher training options, we offer customized solutions to address the unique needs of your students and learning facilities. Commonly, our program is implemented in two key ways: training existing teachers for after-school reading classes and training paraprofessionals and teachers’ aides during their planning periods.
Training Existing Teachers for After-School Reading Classes:
A significant number of schools across the country offer after-school reading classes? According to recent studies, approximately 75% of elementary schools provide after-school programs focused on reading enrichment. This statistic highlights the widespread recognition of the importance of fostering strong reading skills outside of regular classroom hours.
At Reading on Rails™, we understand the importance of equipping existing teachers with the knowledge and skills to lead engaging after-school reading classes. Our teacher training program offers dedicated sessions designed specifically for these educators. With a focus on one-on-one training, we ensure that teachers receive comprehensive instruction and guidance over the span of a few weeks. Our program includes ongoing monitoring and teacher guidance during the initial implementation phase after the in-person training, ensuring a smooth transition into the classroom.
Training Paraprofessionals and Teachers’ Aides During Planning Periods:
In addition to training existing teachers, we recognize the crucial role played by paraprofessionals and teachers’ aides in supporting student learning. Many schools have discovered the benefits of utilizing these dedicated professionals to provide additional reading support. In fact, studies show that more than 50% of schools include paraprofessionals or teachers’ aides in their after-school reading programs.
Our program offers dedicated training sessions during their planning periods, allowing for focused instruction and skill development. These comprehensive training sessions span a few weeks, providing paraprofessionals and aides with the necessary knowledge and techniques to excel in their role.
