Junior High Teachers Learning New Approach v«*uwi iu^ii icauicia cue teaming tr new approach to reading instruction by teach ing students how to read in all subject areas. This project involves the use of materials known as TR1CA, Teaching Reading in Content Areas, developed Dy Dr. Har old Herber of Syracuse Uni versity. The project was incorporated into the federal : Emergency School Aid Act • (ESAA) which provides read : ing labs in junior high shcools. •It was developed from the • 1977-78 DART program (Di 2 rected Activities in Reading land Thinking) started in Char ; loft e-Mecklenburg Schools fo j provide instruction in teach :,ing content reading. ~ Teachers in subjects such as ^^social studies, science and t^math learn how to teach read ying along with the content, ^explains Jean Whitener, iSTRICA facilitator for the : ^schools ,;5 During the school year, 168 high teachers are being "trained for the project. i 'Twenty-five teachers began ^training during the summer ^school at Harding High school. The training continues this fall in the evenings, on weekends and druing inser vice days when students are no at school. Each of the 21 junior high schools will have a TRICA center for training and curriculum development. TRICA offers various tech niques for teachers to apply in working with students who are in the same class but working on different achievement levels. This type of compensa tory education will holdleach ers with their goal for reaching all students according to their needs and abilities, explains Dr. Charles Hickman, assis tant superintendent for curri culum. The project will also help the school system achieve one of its objectives for the 1978-79 school year, that of improving the teaching of reading, he notes. Generally, teachers are trained in content areas rat her than in the processes to use in teaching. The TRICA training will help them deve lop certain methods to use in the <Jassroom to enable stu dents to develop the reading skills needed for a particular subject. In teaching reading through content, the teacher must first analyze the material and de termine what skills the stu dent will need to read and understand it. To do this, the teacher writes down the think ing process involved for the l student to follow. Such guides may be developed for various reading skills such as reason ing, comprehension and voca bulary. The Margaret Carothers Shrine CluD was organized October 8, 1977 with only eight members.
