Climbing The Ladder of Reading & Writing - Study Guide
Benchmark Education created the PD Essentials series to meet the needs of busy educators. We recognize the power a professional book has in helping improve classroom practices. We also know that the practices become easier to implement when participants have the opportunity to discuss research, theories, and routines with colleagues. To support this collaborative work, we have created these study guides for school leaders, coaches, mentors, and grade leaders who want to conduct book studies with the goal of improving teacher knowledge and student performance.
This guide contains a range of suggested activities for before, during, and after reading the professional book. It can be followed verbatim, or in any order that best suits a learning community's needs. Also, this guide can be used for in-person learning, or virtual learning on videoconferencing apps. It is strongly suggested to break this book study into several sessions for online learning.
