@import url("http://www.alliance.brown.edu/css/sp_adv2.css"); Related Resources Site Tools Despite good progress in early reading achievement, there is a perplexing drop in reading scores in grade 4. What happens between grades 2 and 4? And, what can we do about it? Researchers Marjorie Lipson and James Mosenthal from the University of Vermont have been studying these questions in a project conducted through the Alliance's Northeast and Islands Regional Educational Laboratory at Brown (LAB). On average, across the state, more than 30% of fourth-grade students have been failing to meet the standard for reading, as measured by the New Standards Reference Exam (NSRE) Analysis and Interpretation subtest. Vermont's data suggest that the number of students meeting the standards plummets even further at grade 8. At the national level, a RAND report commissioned by the federal government concluded that students who are on grade level at the end of grade 3 will not necessarily be proficient in later years (Snow, 2002 [see Related Resources]). The next phase of the project poses three questions: (1) What are the obstacles to implementation of known scientifically based comprehension and vocabulary strategies? (2) How well (and by what means) do teachers identify the varying needs of students in grades 3-4? (3) What student abilities must be addressed if they are to make progress on challenging state assessments of reading comprehension?

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n Systemic Reform - October 1996 Vermont Demographic and Fiscal Overview Vermont is a small state, especially in population. Its small scale means both that actors in state education circles tend to know each other and that support from outside sources goes much farther than it would in a large state. Yet, its rural nature (two-thirds of the population lives in a small town or rural area) often isolates some schools from the larger towns and the state capital. Vermont's 105,000 students are spread across some 279 school districts with school boards. This school population is diverse in income and in special needs, but not in the standard categories of race and ethnicity. Across supervisory unions, the median percentage of children on free and reduced lunch was 24 percent, and the state has substantial areas of rural poverty. State Strategy for Systemic Reform The state strategy for systemic reform in Vermont is based on an overall theory of change and several activities that the Vermont Department of Education (VDE) uses to try to promote this theory promoting a vision of change, engaging the public, defining standards and assessments, and building partnerships outside the VDE. Theory of Change Interviews with members of the State Department of Education, together with the actions they have taken over the past few years, suggest that they embrace a theory about change in the educational system in which the following elements are central: (1) change should be oriented toward results; (2) state policies should provide consistent, but general, guidelines; (3) widespread public support is important, both for setting general directions and for making local decisions; and (4) all interested groups should realize that change will take time and support.

Recommendations Overview Preceptor Development presentation (adapted from a PowerPoint show) Preceptor Program TOP Preceptor Competencies During the internship experience, the preceptor will demonstrate effective skills in teaching techniques; listening, observational, and feedback techniques; design and planning experiences to operationalize the competency checklist in the clinical practice setting; evaluation and provision of constructive criticism and praise of achievements; minimization of reality shock; facilitation of conflict resolution; assistance to the intern in setting daily goals and plans; encouragement, coaching, and motivation skill sets. The Clinical Educator will be responsible for supporting the preceptor as they attain these skills and will validate that the skills are demonstrated with competence. The Preceptor program is a formal, post-licensure educational program designed to increase knowledge, teaching, and communication skills of experienced nurses. These educational workshops are also used by specialty care area personnel for continued development of experienced staff in OR, ICU, psychiatric, and other special care areas. While providing additional educational resources, this joint effort benefits the Internship project by changing the workplace culture further towards support of the novice/advanced beginner. We currently offer six (6) workshops per year and accept a maximum of 30 participants per 2 day offering.
