How-To: Teach Literacy Instruction and Teacher Collaboration

Read Sarah's research article:

Teacher Talk: Collaborative Conversations About Second Grade Readers
Would student achievement increase if I planned my reading workshop with another colleague? Would our talk about both of our students help us get a better handle on the strategies each child controlled, and the strategies they needed to refine in order to meet these standards? It is not typical for teachers to work together in this way; to talk about individual students, to make decisions together and help teach each other's students. But I wondered if these extra conversations would help both of us become better teachers and help our students achieve higher levels.
