TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR READING INSTRUCTION
Elementary / Math / Ratios and Proportions
The teacher is the most significant variable in determining the quality of reading instruction students receive. However, it is not possible to create a finished teaching product in four semesters of any teacher preparation program. Becoming an expert in any field, including reading instruction, takes time and continued study. Thus, to make sure that teachers of reading have the necessary knowledge and research-based strategies, we must provide them access to high quality professional development opportunities.
