The Teachers' Reading Renaissance[R] Survey. Report.
School Renaissance Inst., Inc., Madison, WI.
A study was conducted which surveyed nationwide Renaissance Model classroom teachers. According to responses received from 743 educators, the Reading Renaissance program is extremely beneficial to both students and teachers. Educators noted their students' improved reading habits, increased test scores in reading and all other subjects, improved communication with students, and greater parental involvement in students' academic success. Renaissance educators further indicated that the information given by the Accelerated Reader reports helps them feel more empowered and better able to assist students in choosing appropriate books. Finally, 93% of these educators believe their jobs are more satisfying since implementing Reading Renaissance. (Contains 3 tables of data.) (NKA)
