 Best Practices
Consistent with the work of Cathy Collins Block, whose research has informed the identification of the characteristics of exemplary literacy teaching, there are two main objectives for identifying best practice teaching in New York State: (1) to provide teachers, reading specialists, literacy coaches and administrators with specific knowledge as to the practices at a particular grade level that have led to significantly higher levels of student literacy achievement; and (2) to offer effective demonstrations that provide teachers and other professionals with the knowledge that holds the potential for improving their proficiency in either providing or recommending to others, highly effective literacy practices.
