Reading Recovery
Network in Canada

Regional Divisions of CIRR

As Reading Recovery expanded across Canada it became necessary to create regional divisions. Under the umbrella of the Canadian Institute of Reading Recovery, the country has been divided into the Atlantic, Central, Western, and Mountain-Pacific divisions.

The trainers at these divisions support the implementation of Reading Recovery in boards and districts across their region through the training and ongoing professional development of teachers and teacher leaders, teaching children, and working with administrators to strengthen the implementation. Divisions are responsible for collecting and analyzing data for their region and submitting it annually to the CIRR.



CIRR Atlantic Division

Located in Halifax, Nova Scotia, the Atlantic Division supports the implementation of Reading Recovery in the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. A full-time English trainer oversees the training and support of teacher leaders while a second bilingual trainer is contracted to oversee the implementation of Reading Recovery for Francophone and French immersion children in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, and Ontario.

In addition to providing training and ongoing support to teacher leaders, trainers consult with administrators in order to strengthen implementations in boards in both official languages. Teacher leader certification can be applied toward a masters of education degree through Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax.

Teachers, employed by one of the 13 boards of education, take a year-long Reading Recovery certification course at a training site within the board of education. Teacher leader candidates undertake a year-long course of study at the Central Division’s Yorkhill Training Centre in Thornhill, ON.
