The PARASeries - Session III - FULL

Do you work with students who are struggling with reading, math, and/or writing? Some of those students may be identified as having special needs, but many are students who just need extra support to reach their full potential. We will explore strategies and technology that can help you support all struggling learners. Some technology may be right at your “fingertips” – part of your district’s computer system or software that the district already owns that can help struggling students. We will also explore low to high tech supports that can be borrowed from CESA 5. Participants will have opportunities for hands-on exploration and trials with technology.
