Teacher Support Success for All staff provides extensive training and support to all participating schools. In the first year of implementation, there are three days of training for all teachers prior to the beginning of school. An additional day of training is needed for all tutors. In the course of the year, Success for All trainers do three implementation visits at each school. At these visits, trainers have a chance to observe classrooms, meet with teachers to discuss difficulties and plan next steps.
Kindergarten teachers receive the reading training during the winter.
In addition, the Family Support Team re ceives a day and a half of training in the fall and an additional day and a half of training in the spring. Additional training in writing may occur in the first or second year of implementation. Schools that are doing Roots and Wings begin the second year with additional training in the MathWings and Worldlab components. Every school has a Success for All consultant, which along with center staff are always available to schools to answer questions and provide support. Every Roots and Wings or Success for All school also has highly trained in-house experts.
