A group of teachers in the Temple school district are pupils again and are pioneer trainees in a special program.With the help of Texas Tech University in Lubbock, the Temple school district is making plans to begin a Literacy Collaborative program to help monitor primary students' progress in reading and comprehension and their integration.The Literacy Collaborative is a research-based initiative that trains teachers to become literacy coordinators within their schools to assess and help students in learning the processes of learning to read."Reading is not a linear process. It is a skill that builds upon itself year after year," said Anne Brown, project coordinator.The three teachers and schools involved in the initial year of training for Literacy Collaborative school coordinators are Debra Moore of Kennedy-Powell Elementary School, Barbra Fellows of Meridith-Dunbar and Connie Sisneros of Hector P. Garcia elementary schools.Ms. Brown said the program will target kindergarten, first- and second-grade students with a complimentary focus on third- through fifth-graders to help them in the changing learning processes students need in learning to read and write.According to Robin Davis, district director of language arts, social studies and foreign language, the three elementary school teachers involved in the program were chosen to go through the program after a very selective process."I'm excited to be a part of this," said Debra Moore of Kennedy-Powell. "This will help us to help teachers reach students on all levels."These three pioneers train four days per month in an "intensive" program to bring back skills to help teachers within the district to helps its students. by Nicole Edwards
