Session: Session 3
Room: 321A
Presentation Type:Workshop Presentation
Reading comprehension is a complex construct that is a challenge for most learners. The web-based intelligent tutoring system for the structure strategy (ITSS) and corresponding teacher practice-based professional development have shown remarkable outcomes changing lives of thousands of children. The system has been tested in large scale randomized controlled trials and proven effective with diverse groups of elementary students. Recent studies included students from rural and suburban schools and socioeconomically and culturally diverse populations. English learners have also used the software (in Spanish) and shown remarkable results. A complexity theory lens was applied to review school contexts, textbooks, and other resources that cause contradictions in reading instruction. The refined teacher professional development system showcases the instructional method in the context of classroom learning environments to ensure curricula consistency to promote reading comprehension. In this workshop we will showcase the tools and resources that are available for worldwide use. Recent advances using podcasts and other easily accessible tools will also be showcased to the attendees.
