Teach Effectively!

Here’s blurb about a new recource that’s available from the IRIS Center at Peabody:

The IRIS Center is pleased to announce the posting of a new STAR Legacy Module: PALS: A Reading Strategy for Grades 2-6, a revision and expansion of the PALS section of The Reading Blues: Strategies to Help Upper-Elementary Students Move from Struggle to Success.

When Mrs. Nash, a fifth-grade teacher and recent transfer to Miller Elementary, learns that her new school’s reading scores have fallen below the proficient level, she begins the search for a research-validated approach through which to improve her students’ reading skills. Soon, Mrs. Nash discovers PALS, a peer-assisted learning strategy. Join Mrs. Nash as she learns how to implement PALS in her classroom. To view PALS: A Reading Strategy for Grades 2-6, please go to http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/pals26/chalcycle.htm.

As always, we encourage you to share all of our materials (http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/) with Your colleagues and students.
