Have we considered what we may encounter when we have left these hallowed walls of UWI, St Augustine and entered into the world of work as Reading Specialists? Well I considered a few of the challenges and listed them below. Feel free to blog or add any that I may have overlooked.
• Sourcing appropriate and effective resources to execute the programme.
• Dealing with misconceptions as to what exactly our role as Reading
Specialists actually is
• Acceptance – coming in after a history of ineffective professional
development programmes, teachers may be unwilling to unlearn before they
can apply the new ideas we may bring forth
• Support from fellow colleagues
• Building a culture that encourages ‘receptivity to constructive criticism’
• Proving that we are not here to dictate changes to the curriculum or
enforce extra work without consultation with teachers.
