There’s no blueprint for implementing the Science of Reading, and even if there was, every school or district is different. Fortunately, a coordinated, collaborative approach based on student-focused coaching will empower your teachers, engage your students, and set up your classrooms for success.
In this edWebinar, Daryl Michel, Ph.D., author of Student-Focused Coaching: The Instructional Coach’s Guide to Supporting Student Success Through Teacher Collaboration, will draw on 30+ years of experience as an instructional coach and trainer to explore how to drive instructional change by building differentiated, sustained professional learning systems that will be effective for every educator—from the most eager to the most reluctant.
Join us as we discover how professional learning can help educators unlock the power of the Science of Reading. School and district leaders will leave with valuable insights and tips on how student-focused coaching can support the implementation of research-based instruction and successful schoolwide reform.
This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-5 school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
