What if a simple shift in the way you look at instruction and assessment would improve the educational outcomes for 20% of your students? Would you do it?

Statistically one in five of our students falls on the spectrum of dyslexia, although many may be undiagnosed. By taking a step back and identifying the true and precise goal of our instruction or assessment, we can find ways to help students with dyslexia achieve increased success in any classroom, at any grade level, and in any subject area.

In this edWebinar, Cindy Kanuch guides viewers through the philosophical shift in thinking about instruction and assessment and provide recommendations for strategies and accommodations in the areas of:

• Instructional presentation
• Student response
• The gift of time
• Environmental considerations
• Technology

This recorded session will be of particular benefit to elementary through high school administrators, teachers, and tutors.
