This book introduces the Cycle of Responsibility (COR) model—the next step in the evolution of the Gradual Release of Responsibility model, which has been a conceptual mainstay of literacy education for decades. This new model shifts the current linear model to a cyclical process of multifaceted interactions that better reflect the complexities of early literacy, with an emphasis on constructing knowledge together in the context of vibrant learning communities. Focused on reading, writing, and word study in the primary grades, the COR is put into motion through five key motivators: challenge, creativity, collaboration, choice, and independence. Vignettes demonstrate how to enact the COR in classroom contexts. This practical resource is based on the authors’ shared research and teaching experiences in employing the COR to empower children as literacy learners and teachers as agents of impactful instruction.

Book Features:

Presents the Cycle of Responsibility model—a new, field-tested teaching and learning model.

Moves away from linear task completion to a cyclical collaborative process that reflects the energetic, complex, and creative world of classrooms.

Provides a teacher-centric approach that emphasizes shared construction of knowledge and the forces that motivate young learners. Includes vignettes from the author’s first-grade classroom to illustrate ideas in practice, as well as a chapter on teacher professional learning.
