Product Description of Reading in the Content Areas: Project CRISS is a philosophy of planning that is research-based and highly effective in increasing student achievement in reading in the content areas. In our program, CRISS founder Dr. Carol Santa and her colleagues teach educators how to use CRISS in their classrooms. All aspects of CRIS--from the Learning Plan to implementation--are explained in detail, supported with many real classroom examples from urban, suburban, and rural schools. Teachers will come to understand practical methods and strategies that will help their students take responsibility for their own learning and improve their reading skills. Reading is the basis of all other educational subjects. It is critical that all students can read at or above expected standards. Reading in the Content Areas will greatly aid all educators in helping students meet reading standards.

The greatest shortcoming of most professional development is the lack of follow-up and classroom implementation. At School Improvement Network, we work with you through every step of the process to ensure that our product both fits your needs and that real improvement is implemented in the classroom. All our products are fully designed for classroom implementation and are research-based and classroom-proven.

Our Reading in the Content Areas Facilitator Pack contains everything you need for over eight hours of group training. Included is material for follow-up, in-depth and differentiated learning, and group discussions and activities. The training videos feature examples of real teachers working with real students in real classrooms.
We know one-shot cures never work, which is why our program provides many opportunities for follow-up to ensure that strategies become embedded in your schools. Along with the group training offered in the Facilitator Pack, our Teacher Implementation Packs are designed to ensure that the knowledge being taught in group training sessions becomes a reality in each individual classroom--allowing for ongoing, individual study and follow-up with real classroom examples either online or via CD-ROM. By reinforcing the group training, strategies will become job-embedded.
Compared to traditional, one-time workshops, such focused and ongoing training is the most effective way that you can bring about teacher improvement. Ongoing training has a greater impact on student achievement than any other teacher characteristic besides the teacher s cognitive ability.
For fifteen years, the School Improvement Network has been creating practical solutions for educators, taking the best research-based methods and making them applicable to every teacher. The Network's product development teams have visited thousands of schools and every product contains real classroom examples, effectively helping to bridge the gap from training to classroom implementation. Let us design a program to help you increase students reading achievement in your schools with our research-based and classroom-proven methods.
