Direct Connection to Policy Area 2 of The Illinois Commitment Paraprofessional Education Spoon River College What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? Highly qualified paraprofessionals Description of the effective practice: Spoon River College was a leader in paraprofessional test preparation training from 2003-2006 and will continue to work with the local Regional Offices of Education to provide study materials/guides/tutoring for those seeking to take one of the two state approved paraprofessional tests. In addition, SRC is currently completing application for a new Paraprofessional AAS degree which embeds five core education courses. How does this practice achieve sustainability? The core education courses offered to paraprofessionals in the AAS degree are the same courses offered to those seeking Associate of Arts in Teaching degrees for transfer. Paraprofessionals will be gaining the same knowledge and skills as those pre-teachers they may be working with in the future. What are the results/measurable outcomes? • Approval of AAS degree • Serve as the test center for two paraprofessional tests per semester Contact Information Name: Carol Davis Email: cdavis@spoonrivercollege.edu Phone: (309) 647-6395 68
Direct Connection to Policy Area 2 of The Illinois Commitment Preparing Teachers to Teach Literacy University of Illinois - Chicago What issue or need is addressed by the effective practice? Literacy in math and science requires a different approach to reading and writing than does literacy in an area such as history. Traditionally students in grades 4 -12 have not been prepared to address these differences. Description of the effective practice: A team of UIC College of Liberal Arts and Sciences historians, scientists and mathematicians and College of Education literacy experts are meeting monthly to determine how to best prepare pre-service teachers to deal with Chicago’s serious literacy problems. The team is identifying middle and high school students’ reading and writing requirements that are part of the secondary school curricula. Their goal is to create discipline-based strategies to help students meet those requirements. Strategies created will be field- tested in public school classrooms with input from Chicago Public School teachers. A three year timeline has been established by the Carnegie Corporation, which has granted funding for the project. How does this practice achieve sustainability? UIC will support the initiative with a three-year $100,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York which was awarded to support ongoing efforts to improve adolescent literacy nationally and locally. What are the results/measurable outcomes? The grant builds on the UIC College of Education’s existing emphasis on literacy in Chicago schools. Its principal investigator created the Framework for Literacy, adopted by the Chicago Public Schools and now implemented in 600 Chicago schools, with 26,000 teachers, serving 437,000 students annually. It has also been implemented by hundreds of schools across the nation. Contact Information Name: Margaret Grosch Email: mmgrosch@uic.edu Phone: (312) 413-3461 69
