That\u2019s why it is a key focus in the School of Education\u2019s literacy programs. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">Leanne Evans and Annie Marcks of UWM\u2019s Department of Teaching and Learning lead the efforts to prepare students to use evidence-based practices to teach reading. <s>\u00a0<\/s><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">Evans, an associate professor and co-chair of the Inclusive Early Childhood Teacher Education program, focuses on inclusive early childhood literacy and language development. Marcks is coordinator of the Wisconsin Foundations of Reading Test (WiFoRT), which prepares aspiring teachers for this test required to become licensed. She also teaches literacy courses in early childhood and elementary\/middle education programs.<\/span><span class=\"eop\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">Preparing effective classroom reading and literacy teachers is vital, according to research.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">Statistics show that children who aren\u2019t reading well by the end of third grade are at higher risk of not graduating from high school. More than a quarter of Wisconsin elementary students were reading at \u201cbelow basic level\u201d on standardized tests in the spring of 2022. Only 37% were rated proficient or advanced. Reading levels were much lower in large urban districts like Milwaukee with high numbers of low-income students. In those districts, more than half of third- through eighth-graders were below basic, and only 14% were reading at proficient or advanced levels.<\/span><span class=\"eop\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Wide range of abilities<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"eop\">One of the top priorities, according to Marcks and Evans, is to ensure the teacher education programs center on how students are prepared to teach reading and writing to children coming to school with a wide range of abilities.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"commentcontentpara\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">\u201cWe recognize that there are going to be students all across the literacy learning spectrum,\u201d Marcks said. \u201cChildren come to school with various levels of skills and experiences. In our programs, we recognize the importance of developing responsive teachers for all children and youth, <\/span>such as building knowledge and competencies in multilingualism and neurodiversity.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">Aspiring teachers need to learn how to most effectively work with each child, Evans said. So, using research-based strategies and effective practices, and monitoring progress, are essential to meeting the circumstances of all children, she added. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">When UWM education students go into a classroom, a key part of their learning is assessing the children in the class to identify individual needs and develop approaches that work for each child.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">\u201cWe keep this as a strong component in preparing future reading teachers,\u201d Evans said.<\/span><span class=\"eop\">\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"normaltextrun\">\u201cIn addition, we encourage our university students to be reflective in their teaching practices. For example, they ask themselves, am I responding to students\u2019 backgrounds and life experiences? Are students reading fluently? Are they able to use their phonics and decoding skills to figure out the word?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>New guidelines<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">Wisconsin legislation passed in 2023, scheduled to go into effect for the 2024-2025 school year, provides guidelines on teaching reading. It also provides some financial incentives to help school districts improve the way reading is taught. (Some aspects of the legislation, Act 20, may be delayed due to concerns from school districts and education organizations over deadlines and curriculum choices.)<\/span><span class=\"eop\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">The new legislation mandates that teachers use a \u201cscience of reading\u201d approach that emphasizes research-based literacy practices rather than a \u201cthree-cueing\u201d approach that some large districts had been using.<\/span><span class=\"normaltextrun\"> This technique is considered controversial because it places an emphasis on students using the meaning of the sentence or context, sentence structure and visual cues to decipher meaning instead of <\/span><span class=\"normaltextrun\">using strategies to decode words.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Already aligned with new standards<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">The state budget provides $50 million to fund the bill\u2019s requirements. That includes money for training teachers, hiring reading coaches and buying new curriculum materials. The legislation also increases the number of annual reading screenings to help identify students who would benefit from more differentiated instruction.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">\u201cAnnie and I looked at the legislation and found we were closely aligned with it,\u201d Evans said. \u201cSome of the terminology has changed, which we are adapting into our curriculum.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">For example, instead of using terms like \u201crunning records,\u201d the UWM program uses the term \u201coral reading record,\u201d Marcks said.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">\u201cAs a whole, we\u2019ve been doing an effective job of fitting in all the components of the legislation, and our students are very well-prepared,\u201d Evans said.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"eop\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Committed to research-based practice<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">The approach to UWM\u2019s education curriculum in the context of Act 20 is to continue the commitment to research-based practice and to review and adapt any terminology to be sure it aligns with the intent of the legislation, she added. Faculty will also need to be prepared to answer students\u2019 questions about the impact of the new mandates on how they teach.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">\u201cWe want to make sure our students are well-prepared to be literacy teachers and understand the legislation before they go into the classroom,\u201d Evans said.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"eop\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">\u201cWe will continue to monitor the progress,\u201d Evans said, to make sure UWM\u2019s graduates are up to date on what will be required of them as they enter classrooms. The School of Education also has a literacy council, which meets regularly to discuss legislation, research and the classroom experiences of student teacher<\/span><span class=\"normaltextrun\">s<\/span><span class=\"normaltextrun\">.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"eop\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">A key to teaching reading, Evans and Marcks agree, is <\/span><span class=\"normaltextrun\">fostering the love and joy of reading by prioritizing topics the young readers are interested in and providing opportunities for them to see themselves represented within the pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"paragraph\"><span class=\"normaltextrun\">The changes mandated by the new law are already being put in place in some classrooms, especially in early childhood programs, Evans said. \u201cOur students say what they see in their field experiences fits in with what they are learning at UWM. These are essential connections for our future teachers.\u201d <\/span><span class=\"eop\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A top priority of the School of
