How can the Dorothy Harper Watson Literacy Center help?
The Dorothy Harper Watson Literacy Center is here to help in the following ways: • We will help people find answers to questions and problems they face as they work to help children and young adults become highly literate individuals. This help may occur on an individual basis, within one classroom, among several teachers, or within entire schools. The help may take the form of consulting, assistance with classroom action research, finding and compiling needed information and other resources, and collaboration on outreach projects within schools and communities. Please contact us. • We will help people to investigate the processes involved when people read and write. From that better understanding should come the ability to make informed choices about strategies for reading and writing instruction, and about strategies for assessing literacy outcomes. We believe this kind of in-depth inquiry is important so that teachers become “grounded”, making choices based upon what they know about
