These teachers will go into schools monthly to work with the school teams in providing support through demonstration lessons, coaching, mentoring, and analysis of test data assessing students reading performance. Follow-up to the coursework will be provided as schools track and evaluate the impact of the program on students. The UC Nexus K-12 Technology Initiative will provide current research, exemplary course materials, specific course modules and even lesson plans on its Website. The initiative is exciting. It shows that California's public universities and its public schools can work together to achieve a common objective.
Good teaching is at the heart of good education.
The CSU and UC are hopeful that the quality of instruction in reading will be improved as a result of their summer institutes.
