Teachers were trained on the FOSS modules by a FOSS representative.

ELA Core Instruction Summer PD

Logic of English & Reading Horizon PLC group

Teachers engaged with training videos and practice in what Science of Reading activities look like from both of these publishers and then worked together to identify which methods they were using - to ensure fluidity of instruction K-12.

On-going Year Long Content Specific Training

Cultivating Readers Training

During the 2021-22 school year we became a member of this state-run program that trains teachers on the Science of Reading. We have four-five teachers, including our special education teacher, our administrator, and two parents that are involved in this program. We would like to expand this to more teachers next year.
