What is the appropriate use of technology during instruction?
• As a tool, technology can be used:– in whole group to deliver explicit systematic
reading instruction– in small group for differentiated reading skills
practice and intervention– in lab settings for meaningful related practice
and application for specific reading skills– in learning centers for meaningful reading
practice and application– in the classroom to support individual
student’s content knowledge and learning

enturyShould writing be taught during the RELA block?
• YES– Policy 2510
• 8.6. Instruction and practice in writing is required to be taught to all students.

• Additional instructional resources should be used for skill acquisition.
WEST VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
enturyHow does “fidelity to the core” relate to policy?
• Students will apply reading skills and strategies to inform, to perform a task and to read for literacy experience by identifying and using grade appropriate essential reading components (phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, comprehension, written application) and selecting a wide variety of literature and diverse media to develop independence as readers.– (Policy 2520.1 RLA K-4 Standard 1)
WEST VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
enturyDo I have to use the adopted text?

WEST VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
enturyDo I have to use only the adoptedtext?
• NO• Policy 2510
• 7.7.2. Establish procedures to select instructional materials and supplemental resources that correlate with approved content standards, objectives and performance descriptors for each content area.
• Instructional Guides, Standards-based units of instruction, SAS and Riverdeep Odyssey are recommended as support for 21st century instruction and learning.

• Targeted instruction to meet individual students• A first line of intervention to correct student deficiencies
in RELA• Centers are utilized for skill practice
• Instruction in writing should follow CSOs for grades K-2
