GROUNDING OUR WORK IN SUPPORTING INSTRUCTIONAL SHIFTS FOR DEEPER LEARNING
Reading Apprenticeship Across the Disciplines
WestEd.org WestEd.org
Deep Instructional Shifts Required for the New Standards in Every Subject
Students ask text-based questions Students interpret texts, negotiate multiple interpretations Teacher frames reading as collaborative inquiry Teacher and students foreground the process of figuring things out
Teacher asks text questions and tests comprehension Teacher interprets texts, has right interpretations Teacher frames reading as fact extraction Teacher and students foreground knowing content and having correct answers
WestEd.org WestEd.org
The Reading Apprenticeship Approach to Academic Literacy
Transforming Teaching for Student Independence
• Building academic dispositions • Engaging in worthwhile literacy
tasks • Fostering intellectual
engagement • Close reading to make
meaning of complex texts • Literacy as inquiry to build
engagement and knowledge
WestEd.org
The Reading Apprenticeship Framework
WestEd.org
What Teachers Learn with Reading Apprenticeship How to:
• recognize and model for students the reading strategies they use as expert readers in their subject areas
• engage students in understanding their own thinking processes—the power of metacognition
• integrate and accelerate students’subject area learning and subject area literacy
• foster learning dispositions of persistence, stamina, problem-solving, and collaboration
• turn the sustained work of learning back to students, successfully
• plan lessons that incorporate all dimensions of the Reading Apprenticeship framework
WestEd.org
What Does a Reading Apprenticeship Classroom Look Like?
• Abundant reading of complex subject area text with in-class support
• A focus on comprehension • On-going conversation about how students are thinking
when they read • Skilled coaching and modeling of effective thinking and
reading processes • Text-based discussion • A climate of collaboration • An emphasis on student independence • See it in action. Classroom videos at:

THE RAAD INNOVATION – PROJECT GOALS & ROLES
READING APPRENTICESHIP ACROSS THE DISCIPLINES
WestEd.org
• SEED = Supporting Effective Educator Development
• SEED is a Program in the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Innovation.
• WestEd was awarded a SEED grant in October 2015. The grant will fund Reading Apprenticeship professional learning for three cohorts of teachers across three years: • 2016-17 • 2017-18 • 2018 (thru 2019 if we get an extension)
Reading Apprenticeship Across the Disciplines SEED Grant: 2015-2018
WestEd.org
What the Grant Covers
• All Professional Learning Delivery • Facilitators • Materials (book, binder) • Fees for facilities
• Stipends for participants – Up to $2000 for full participation in the study
• Substitute Costs up to $110 per day
WestEd.org
1. Increase the number of highly effective middle and high school teachers by engaging 2,000 teachers in Reading Apprenticeship professional learning.
2. Improve middle and high school students’ reading comprehension, academic achievement, metacognitive skills and positive learning dispositions.
3. Build local capacity for strong and sustained implementation of effective academic literacy practices through school and regional network support.
4. Build knowledge and refine Reading Apprenticeship through research

Evaluation
Reading Apprenticeship is effective, relevant, and flexible because of continuous research & development.
The RAAD project includes a study to examine the
impact of Reading Apprenticeship on: • change in teacher practice • student learning – their achievement and learner
dispositions
WestEd.org
Eligibility to Participate in the Study 2016-2018
• Middle schools serving 7th and 8th grades • Teams with at least three 8th grade teachers in ELA,
science, history/social studies • Teams must include at least one 8th grade ELA teacher • 8th grade teachers must independently teach at least two
regular education classes in these subjects • Schools and teachers must commit to the two years of the
study • Schools and teachers must participate in data collection
activities • Schools will be randomly assigned to treatment (PL in
2016-2017) and control (PL in 2018-2019) conditions

Impact Evaluation Research Questions 1. Student achievement in literacy and
science at the end of 8th grade? 2. Students’ positive academic behaviors and
dispositions toward learning? 3. Teachers’ instructional practices and use of
Reading Apprenticeship strategies among grade 8 ELA, science, and social studies teachers?
WestEd.org
1. Student literacy & achievement: 8th Grade performance on
- Degrees of Reading Power (DRP) DRP consists of nonfiction passages with embedded probes to determine how well students understand the surrounding text.
- State Standardized Assessments 2. Student attitudes, behaviors, and dispositions:
- Online student survey administered in spring of each year • Becoming Effective Learners Student Survey (BELS-S) • Metacognitive Awareness of Reading Strategies Inventory
3. Teachers’ implementation of Reading Apprenticeship
instructional practices - Online teacher survey, administered 3 times per year
RCT – Instruments
WestEd.org
• 50 Schools • 3 Teachers from each school
• Stipends • Surveys & Assessments • Evaluation firm = IMPAQ International
