Transform Your Instructional Approach with Secondary Readers Who Have Individualized Education Service Plans!

With the right instruction and support, all students can learn to read and write — but it can be challenging to meet the diverse needs of special education. Aligned with the latest research around the science of reading and writing, this two-year academy will equip participants with assessments, instructional routines, and tools they need to develop specific Individualized Education Service Plan (IEP) goals, provide instruction, and monitor progress.
