Looking for a high impact (0.74 effect size) teaching strategy to use in your reading classroom?
Why Reciprocal Teaching?
Reciprocal Teaching is a research-based comprehension technique that has demonstrated over 30 years of success in dramatically improving reading comprehension (Ozcus, 2018).
John Hattie's (2018) Visible Learning Research found it to have an effect size of 0.74 on student learning- that's almost 2 year's worth of growth in just 1 year.
This course aims to build your knowledge on what full-strength implementation of this practice looks like (i.e the type of practice that leads to the large effect sizes from Hattie's research.) It unpacks the what, why and how of effective implementation and clears up some common misconceptions along the way.
What you'll learn in this course
The what, why and how of full-strength Reciprocal Teaching.
The history and research base of this practice.
What each step of the practice is and how best to implement it.
What's inside the course?
In this course, I've teamed up with fellow literacy consultant Mardi Gorman to explore full-strength Reciprocal Teaching.
Over the course of 1.5 hours (broken into 9 bite-sized lessons) we explore everything you need to know to implement the full-strength version of this practise in your classroom (rather than the watered-down version that we see in a lot of classrooms).
- Lesson 1: Underpinnings of Reciprocal Teaching
- Lesson 2: History and Research
- Lesson 3: A Goal and a Caution
- Lesson 4: Lesson Structure
- Lesson 5: Predicting
- Lesson 6: Clarifying
- Lesson 7: Questioning
- Lesson 8: Summarising
- Lesson 9: Implementation
You'll have access to all of the lessons as soon as you sign up and you'll be able to rewatch the videos for 6 months from your purchase date.
Note: You'll be able to download a participation certificate once you've completed the course.
Course feedback
Beth
“I really loved the references to the evidence based best practices, sharing the history of the practices and then the really practical way how we can take the information straight back into our classrooms. It was so relevant to what I am wanting to implement and improve on with my own teaching.”
