American Reading Company professional development is embedded in each of our programs. This essential partnership builds teacher and administrator capacity and helps ensure success for all stakeholders.
RTI Accountability Model
Action 100 is American Reading Company’s most comprehensive intervention program with a 12-step professional development initiative to ensure the success of all schools and student sub-groups. Teacher and administrator learning is front loaded early and often so that Action 100 is fully and effectively implemented from the first day of school.
Get Every Student to Proficient in Reading
100 Book Challenge begins with a comprehensive, interactive, hands-on introduction to the program. Where possible, we include in-class demonstrations with your students. Support continues with several types of teacher coaching visits, each focusing on a different, important aspect of program implementation.
Project-Based Learning + Reading and Writing in Content Areas
Professional Development for Research Labs teaches teachers and administrators how to use the full range of thematic materials to turn each classroom into an active learning laboratory. Participants learn how to use extensive nonfiction, thematic book collections and support material to conduct thematic investigations that build students’ vocabulary, background knowledge, and skills in reading, writing, researching, and publishing.
