Notes de l'éditeur
- This evening we will present … Information about Dr. Allington’s life, six articles focusing on aspects of his research, share activities with you, and some of Richard Allington’s publications.
- First- Allington’s life and achievements
- Dr. Allington’s academic career began in Michigan where he grew up on a dairy farm. His first school was the one room Pioneer School pictured here from his website- teachersread.net
- Richard Allington’s academic career spans almost 5 decades, from 1965 to the present.
- Dr. Allington did his undergraduate work at Western Michigan University and taught 4 th and 5 th grades in Kent City Schools Michigan. He quickly discovered the difficulty his students had with reading and began graduate work in reading and special education at Western Michigan and continued with his PhD at Michigan State University.
- In 1974 Dr. Allington received the Outstanding Dissertation Award from the International Reading Association for his “An evaluation of the use of color cues to focus attention in discrimination and paired-associate learning” Institution: Michigan State University
- Dick Allington moved to the State University of New York at Albany to become the Chair of the Department of Reading
- In 1990, Allington and Anne McGill-Franzen received the Albert J. Harris Award In 1995 he was inducted into the IRA Reading Hall of Fame And also was president of the National Reading Conference
- He moved to the University of Florida where he was the Fien distinguished professor of Education
- In 2005 He was the President of the IRA and moved to the University of Tennessee In 2007 he received the William S. Gray Citation of Merit from the IRA
- All of his work aims at helping to accelerate needy readers – (list) We chose 6 articles from Allington’s research studies, book chapters, and journal articles across several of his interests.
- The first article…
- The third article…
- To replicate the data collection in this article, Jackie video taped a student in her school reading for 1 minute out of all the texts in his desk that day. Your handout includes several passages on which you may take an informal running record. For each passage calculate wcpm, % accuracy, and evaluate fluency as Good, Fair, Poor. Enter on padlet at website.
- (make sure everyone has the passages, understands the directions, and that the prezi is loaded- show videos as class records and calculates)
- Discuss the access to readable texts for this student. How would this impact his learning all day long? To replicate the class observations Jackie recorded 3 rd grade classrooms at various times of the morning and afternoon over a 4/5 day period. As you watch the videos of each room, record whole class, small group, side x side, and calculate % whole class – record on padlet
- (make sure all have paper to note on, or padlet up to record on, and understand directions while the prezi is loading)
- Discuss results of the classroom observation activity – look at padlet to see numbers for each room and each format as well as % whole group How does this impact at risk third graders’ learning all day long?
- Allington has continued to be interested in struggling readers as shown in the 3 articles Eileen shared. 2 federally funded programs with different entering, exiting requirements and different regulations serve similar populations Research Questions… Perspective : Mental Discipline due to time on task; Information Processing because they implied the benefit of explicit instruction; Social Constructivism because of importance of differentiation Methodology : Observed amount and type of instruction coding instructional setting within time (quantitative) field notes (qualitative), and interviews to corroborate data collected
- Method: Participants- mix of urban, suburban, rural; other 24 from same district or school/ grade Materials: Data: lesson (language arts, math), program (regular education, Chapter 1), grouping (whole class, sub group), group size (#), format (active teaching, guided work, testing, management, surrogate- computer), instructor (classroom teacher, special ed teacher, assistant) spreadsheet and data software to analyze Findings: Chapter 1 more time Total RLA than special education as well –almost 14 minutes a day
- Means Ranges!
- Another focus of Allington’s work was effective teaching- research group which studied fourth grade and first grade teachers. research question … Began with just observing and coding the teacher characteristics and behaviors- analyzed for theory and focus- focused observation as time went on. Grounded theory approach - “Thus, although observations at the beginning of the study were open ended, they became more focused as conclusions about a teacher emerged, consistent with grounded theory methods (Strauss & Corbin, 1998) Not one theory: “In general, these outcomes did not support any theory that emphasizes just one particular component (e.g., skills instruction, whole language emphasis) as the key to effective Grade 1 literacy; rather, excellent Grade 1 instruction involves multiple instructional components articulated with one another.” Engaged – motivation, learning context, adjust as child progresses; also behaviorism: positive success oriented; inquiry learning: high level skills, collaboration; metacognitive theory: gradual release of responsibility; social constructivism: zone of proximal development, scaffolding; social learning theory: modelling, self-efficacy
- Participants: school principals selected ‘very effective’ teachers and more typical teachers based on effectiveness in promoting student achievement; 15 pairs- researchers evaluated student engagement and quality of student reading and writing to corroborate; later narrowed to most effective and least effective for state = 10 teachers reported out. Data: …221 most effective behaviors narrowed to 103 which appeared in all 5 states and placed into 7 overarching categories Observers: “In doing so, the observers commented on the following: the daily schedule in the class, the nature of reading instruction and the types of reading that occurred, the nature of writing instruction and the types of writing that occurred, how skills development was addressed, the extent and nature of opportunistic teaching, the extent and nature of across-curricular connections, and the methods and effectiveness of classroom management .”
- Most effective from all 5 states demonstrated: Classroom management included: coordinated instruction from other adults/paraprof. to insure integrity of curriculum for struggling readers, monitored student reading and book selection Environment : exceptionally positive- no negativity noted Skills/Literature/ Reading writing balance : explicit teaching, modeling, re-teaching in context of ongoing reading and writing activities, reading all day, writing process Accelerating demands- scaffolding: texts, tasks and scaffolding matched student needs – ZoPD Self- regulation: students engaged- ‘lost in their work’ Curriculum: integration
- Some least effective also demonstrated the same characteristics and behaviors- the ones demonstrated by ONLY the most effective teachers were: Teaching: opportunistic- at point of need Writing: high demands – process and mechanics; scaffolding in place to reach including class made books
- You read the Addressing Summer Reading Setback among economically disadvantaged elementary students article from 2010 by Richard L. Allington, Anne McGill-Franzen, Gregory Camilli, Lunetta Williams, Jennifer Graff, Jacqueline Zeig, Courtney Zmach & Rhonda Nowak Your turn in group…
- Show padlet- each group discuss and post responses. Share out for a few minutes- discuss if differences.
- From IRA convention- shows fall to spring growth pattern, spring to fall SES difference, increasing gap (use curser to show)
- Questions… Perspective – engaged learning due to student choice Lenses – cognitive processing – ‘self-teaching hypotheses’ and volume/ proficiency link; sociolinguistic comparing SES groups; mental discipline – practice and time on task; unfoldment theory – provide books, choice; constructivism/ engagement – authentic texts, choice, variety, purpose; literacy development theory – rich home environment, natural development Methodology …
- Participants… Material… Data… Findings…
- In comparing the articles we chose- Breadth of topics/ methods/ lenses- theory over the years. Each study lead Allington to another area to study or another way to study the area to refine the information. All relate to struggling readers and all are practitioner friendly.
- Most of Allington’s research interests are depicted in these two short clips. This 3 minute clip is about what we know about teaching reading. What are Dr. Allington’s main points about instruction? Discuss
- This 2 and a half minute clip is about interventions. How does Dr. Allington’s concept of intervention differ from what is happening in the schools? Discuss- What did you notice about Allington’s political undertones in these two videos?
- In addition to being a standard at national conferences, Dr. Allington published… and served or serves…
- Some of the books Richard Allington edited recently include Reading to Learn and Learning to Read –the studies of exemplary fourth and first grade teachers; Big Brother and the National Reading Curriculum: How ideology trumped evidence describes how federal mandates impede improved reading instruction and public schools; Schools that work describes effective schools and district and what makes them work while Classrooms that work details what goes on in individual classrooms that is effective; No Quick Fix details how to make literacy programs more effective; The What Really Matters series includes Fluency , Struggling Readers, and Response to Intervention; Essential Readings on Struggling Learners are articles from IRA publications and the Handbook of Reading Disability Research brings together a wide variety of research on causation, assessment and remediation of reading disabilities. His latest work is Summer Reading which compiles the research on summer reading comparing it to summer school effectiveness and comparing its effects on different socioeconomic levels and in different formats. Podcast 13:40 minutes long- on interventions and RtI from IRA
- My concept of Dick Allington’s work is that he makes research accessible to the classroom teacher. His work is often elegantly simple, clear, and straightforward. These attributes make it more likely that his studies will be implemented in our schools. Questions?
