Despite its current anonymity\, there’s an effective method for correcting dysteachia. \nProfessional learning grounded in the Science of Reading can help eliminate dysteachia in educators and ensure students with dyslexia get the explicit and systematic instruction they require to successfully achieve literacy. With the support of implementation science\, educational leaders can bolster their teachers’ instructional understanding and see positive student outcomes. \nIn this edWebinar\, viewers gain a deeper understanding of dyslexia and how dyslexia and dysteachia intersect\, how implementation science and professional learning can improve instruction\, and the impact effective instruction can have on students’ literacy success. \nThis recorded edWebinar is of interest to K-12 teachers\, school and district leaders\, and education technology leaders. \n \n \nAbout the Presenters \nKimberly Stockton joined Lexia Learning in July 2019 with 25 years of education experience.
