The Red implementation model leverages the power of e-learning and, at the same time, acknowledges the importance of ongoing collaboration and reflection among teachers. Click the buttons to learn more about the key components of Scholastic Red courses.



In schools where a group of teachers enroll in a Red course, teachers and their reading coach participate in onsite Red workshops, which are designed to foster ongoing support and collaboration as they practice and implement research-based reading strategies. Scholastic Red trains local reading coaches and staff developers, providing all the resources they need to plan and manage these workshops. Reading coaches receive:
  • explicit plans, activities, and agendas to conduct workshops.
  • practical coaching tools, including Strategy Use Charts and guidelines for conducting demonstration lessons.
  • classroom observation and conferencing tools.
Teachers taking a Red course "on their own" have many opportunities to collaborate with peers and reading experts. Using the online community-building tool of Red, teachers can share ideas with colleagues from across the country and have their reading instruction questions answered by Red's online reading mentors.
