The Teachers College Reading and Writing Project is pleased to offer the 12th Annual Coaching Institute on Literacy Coaching and Whole School Writing Reform. This intimate and intensive institute will offer educators the chance to explore TCRWP’s Common Core-aligned units of study in writing with a specific emphasis on using learning progressions and rubrics to ratchet up the level of writing instruction, as well as to ensure school-wide consistency and growth. You’ll also learn how to support a wide-spectrum of teachers, differentiating support with powerful methods of staff development, while also helping your teachers provide individualized, responsive instruction based on solid evidence of what their students can do and are ready to learn. Where: This institute will take place both within schools across New York City and at the Teachers College campus.
Fax 212.678.4121
Who: Participants will include literacy coaches, principals, lead teachers, and literacy leaders from schools across the country and overseas. Those who join us will work in either first year or advanced sections. Advanced sections are not based on skill level, but rather on specific qualifications detailed on the following page. The vast majority of participants—a group that will include professors, experienced literacy coaches, and principals—will attend first year sections. When: Tuesday, October 14th – Sunday, October 19th, 2014. Registration will begin at 4pm on Tuesday, October 14th. The institute falls over our annual Fall Saturday Reunion, held on October 18th, a day filled with more than 125 workshops, keynotes, and closings on numerous topics pertaining to reading and writing workshops. We encourage Coaching Institute participants to attend, but it is not a requirement.

FIRST YEAR PARTICIPANTS (This is for participants who are attending their first coaching institute. Participants may have attended other TCRWP events, but this will be their first institute on the coaching of writing.) Participants will work in small groups led by one of the Project's senior staff developers. You’ll gain a sense of the spiral curriculum in writing. Although your governing gaze will be on one area of the literacy curriculum—writing—you’ll learn a repertoire of methods of staff development applicable to all subjects and especially to supporting reading as well as writing. You'll become more adept at demonstration teaching, collaborative coaching, classroom-based labsites, using formative assessment to inform curriculum and teaching, and methods for supporting whole-school reform. Participants may elect to focus on K-2, K-5, 3-5, or 6-8 grade-spans, although some sections will fill more quickly than others.

We will also have a special “K-5 Administrator Section” led by Kathleen Tolan, Senior Deputy Director, for superintendents and principals. Participants in the Administrator section will learn ways that administrators can support their teachers’ implementation of the writing workshop. You’ll also learn to conduct observations and to provide clear, immediate feedback. Above all, you’ll learn to create whole school reform in writing. ADVANCED PARTICIPANTS To be an advanced participant, you must meet one of the following requirements: completed a TCRWP coaching course and are a NYC coach; participated in a TCRWP coaching of writing institute; or participated in a beginning TCRWP coaching or reading institute in conjunction with a TCRWP summer writing institute or intensive on-site TCRWP staff development. As a participant in an advanced section, you will learn a repertoire of ways for helping schools become vibrant learning communities. You’ll consider ways in which a literacy leader can help whole-schools establish building-wide goals and work with deliberateness towards those goals. In particular, you’ll leave better able to help school communities become engaged in a cycle of continuous improvement nurtured by a study of data and of student work. Advanced participants will think together about cycles of staff development that are angled so they support not only a particular unit of study (and a particular kind of writing) but also improved instruction. For example, a study group that aims to help teachers teach informational writing can have, as a secondary goal, an emphasis on helping teachers lead assessment-based small groups. We will offer a K-2 advanced section led by Christine Holley, Senior Staff Developer and a 3-8 advanced section led by Annie Taranto, Senior Staff Developer at the Reading and Writing Project.
