For several schools in a district or a whole district that had demonstrated a commitment to implementing Transforming Our Teaching, Regie and /or her colleagues conducted 3 day, on-site residency, which included visits to classrooms, schools, and under performing districts- or provinces- where Regie and/or her colleagues provided expert, professional learning experiences for teachers and leaders. That professional learning included mentoring and guiding principals in conducting classroom instructional walks that led to increased literacy achievement, engagement, and enjoyment for all teachers and students. Regie and/or her colleagues also demonstrated in classrooms many of the literacy and leadership practices detailed in Read, Write, Lead: Breakthrough Strategies for Schoolwide Literacy Success (ASCD 2104) and Literacy Essentials: Engagement, Excellence and Equity for All Learners (Stenhouse 2018), as well as in her best selling Heinemann, Essentials series: Reading Essentials, Writing Essentials, and Teaching Essentials. Residency schools were carefully selected for strong superintendent and principal leadership and teachers who were firmly dedicated to raising and sustaining literacy achievement schoolwide and districtwide.
