Description
Research shows that when reading instruction aligns with how the brain learns to read, nearly all students can become proficient readers; yet longitudinal data shows that 30- 40% of students in Minnesota and around the country are not reaching this potential. How are teacher preparation programs instructing preservice teachers to teach reading? What shifts are being made in Bethel's Education Department, in Minnesota, and around the country as more is known about the science of reading? Abbey Payeur's research project looked at how the 29 teacher preparation programs in Minnesota teach reading and completed a qualitative and a thematic analysis of how what is taught aligns with the science of reading. This poster shares the study results and shares examples of how Bethel is leading the way in preparing teachers to teach all students to read.
