Field tested in schools around the country, Regie Routman in Residence has shown that high quality professional development can and will lead to improved student achievement. Each of the three DVD-based programs provides a year's worth of professional development that is:

• manageable because it provides an instructional leadership model that includes principals, literacy leaders, coaches, and teachers in the process
• sustainable because it establishes a shared vision for effective teaching and learning that raises expectations and achievement
• replicable because it builds capacity for ongoing professional development and collaboration within the learning community
• affordable because it delivers a full year of PD for about $100 per teacher.
