Communities of Practice — Questions and Responses

What Are Questions and Responses?

Any member may post any question concerning the Community to the "questions & responses" section of any community. A competent expert in the applicable field of literacy will address each question asked through the "Q & R" link. Your question will remain anonymous to the Community; only your facilitator can view your name. You will receive a regular e-mail notification when a response has been provided.

Why Submit a Question?

A competent expert in the applicable field of literacy provides a quality response to your question. Others may benefit from the question and response, and the question may lead to a discussion.

Who Are the Experts?

The individuals responding to questions are recognized experts in various fields of reading instruction. Typically, the experts are Teacher Reading Academy trainers and are very familiar with the research-based practices described in the Academy.
