Re: Reading Recovery vs. LindaMood-Bell
Posted by suzy on 4/02/08

    RR is 6 hours of grad school: one week in August, and 3 hours each
    semester. A school district contracts with a reading recovery site...a site
    license. A RR teacher leader teaches the course...the credits are provided
    by a local university. The teacher leader is overseen by a teacher
    trainer...overseen by The Ohio State University. Once per week for each
    semester the teacher attends the class. The next day, what is learned is
    implemented. NYC? or NYS?
