Canadian Reading Recovery
Training Centers
Regional Institutes
As Reading Recovery expanded across Canada it became necessary to
create regional Institutes to train and support teacher leaders,
liaison administrators, and teachers. Under the umbrella of the
Canadian Institute of Reading Recovery, the country has been divided
into four regions: Eastern, Central, Western and Mountain-Pacific.
Institutes presently are located in Halifax, Toronto, and Winnipeg,
with future plans for an Institute in the Mountain Pacific Region.
Central Canadian Institute of Reading Recovery
The Central Canadian Institute of Reading Recovery oversees the
work in Reading Recovery Teacher Professional Development Centres in
school districts across the province of Ontario, and in the future,
Quebec.
Reading Recovery is implemented in 15 English Boards of Education
in Ontario:
Bruce Grey Catholic, Dufferin Peel Catholic, Durham Catholic,
Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic, Near North, Niagara Catholic, Peel.
Rainy River, Simcoe, Simcoe Muskoka Catholic, Thames Valley,
Toronto, Upper Canada, York Catholic, and York Region.
Reading Recovery is also implemented in two Ontario French Boards of
Education and overseen by the Eastern Canadian Institute of Reading
Recovery.
The work of the Institute is the responsibility of the regional
trainer. The trainer is responsible for administration of the
Teacher Leader Certificate Course, the ongoing professional
development of teacher leaders in the Central Region, and
consultation with district administrators on the implementation of
Reading Recovery in the Central Region.

The Eastern Canadian Institute of Reading Recovery
The Eastern Canadian Institute of Reading Recovery is located in
Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is responsible for the training and support
of teacher leaders in the four Atlantic provinces. It also oversees
the implementation of Reading Recovery to Francophone and French
immersion children in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward
Island, Manitoba, and Ontario.
A bilingual trainer facilitates the training of new teacher
leaders for Canada. The trainer also provides ongoing professional
development and consults with administrators in order to strengthen
their implementations in pre-established boards in both official
languages. Academic credits for teacher leader training are offered
through Mount St. Vincent University, Halifax.

Western Canadian Institute of Reading Recovery
The Western Canadian Institute of Reading Recovery is located in
Winnipeg, Manitoba, and works with the cooperation of Manitoba
Education, Citizenship and Youth. It provides training and support
to Reading Recovery teacher leaders throughout Manitoba, Alberta,
British Columbia, and the Yukon Territory. Academic credits for
teacher leader training are offered through Brandon University.
Two trainers presently work with teacher leaders, providing
guidance in implementation, teaching children, training teachers,
and collecting and analyzing data throughout the region. Reading
Recovery is implemented in English, but as work progresses, it is
anticipated that it will also be offered in French.
