Reading Framework
Eakin staff have been trained by the Ohio State University Literacy Collaborative Research site. Our teachers recieve in-classroom coaching that is aligned to their ongoing professional development. Teachers implement the language and literacy framework for at least 150 minutes of daily instructional time. Students are assessed and their development is monitored to determine the effectiveness of the instruction and implementation of the Literacy Collaborative language and literacy framework. Reading is a lifelong behavior that empowers each learner to grow and develop as independent learners.
