Better known as the “3rd Grade Reading Bill”, the intent of this 2016 legislation is to advance reading levels for all students in grades K-3 by testing, improvement plans, and training/assisting teachers and support professionals. Part of PA 306 ensures our members receive proper professional development, training and support to initiate the comprehensive procedures required by this new educational law. This training includes discussion of the requirements of PA 306, mandated support for teachers and support professionals, qualifications of literacy coaches, responsibilities of literacy coaches, alternatives to retention, and future programmatic changes anticipated in the next 2 years.
