Education Week (5/4, Viadero) reported, "An innovative study of 17 schools along the East Coast suggests that putting literacy coaches in schools can help boost students' reading skills by as much as 32 percent over three years. The study, which was presented...on May 1 during the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association," finds "that reading gains are greatest in schools where teachers receive a larger amount of coaching." According to Education Week, the study "also finds that the amount of coaching that teachers receive varies widely and is influenced by an array of factors, including relationships among staff members and how teachers envision their roles."
