The solution lies in ensuring literacy educators are valued\, heard\, and have access to the Science of Reading knowledge\, as well as tools that take some work off teachers’ plates. Watch Dr. Liz Brooke for this edWebinar as she addresses the criticalness of teacher retention at this time\, especially literacy educators\, and how you can influence their decisions to stay. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 school and district leaders. \n\nAbout the Presenter \nDr. Liz Brooke\, CCC-SLP is Lexia’s Chief Learning Officer.
