Improving children's school readiness via teacher coaching: Can it make a difference? [Executive summary]

Description:
This White Paper presents results of a community-based, multi-pronged initiative, ready 4 success, which was designed to improve the quality of language and literacy instruction in preschool classrooms and, in turn, children's language and literacy skills. The core components of the initiative included: (1) administration of an early-literacy screening tool, Get Ready to Read (GRTR; Whitehurst & Lonigan, 2001) to preschool children in fall and spring of the academic year; (2) teacher participation in workshops intentionally designed to address the elements of GRTR; and (3) provision of coaching to teachers using the results of the GRTR to identify and implement evidence-based instructional strategies that met the needs of the particular classroom.
