Included in several contemporary resources on Response to Intervention, the literacy instruction and intervention techniques of the Interactive Strategies Approach (ISA) have been successfully implemented by classroom teachers as well as by intervention teachers in small group and one-to-one contexts.
Participants will learn how to more effectively identify and meet the needs of early literacy learners, particularly those who struggle with literacy acquisition. Major topics will include ways to support the development of:
-Motivation to read and write -Strategic word learning
-Phonological awareness -Vocabulary and oral language skills
-Skill with the alphabetic code -Comprehension and knowledge
Perfect for early childhood teachers, Pk-2 teachers, Title I, ELL and Special Educators, as well as reading specialists and school psychologists. This series is true job-embedded professional development, as it consists of five days of training so that participants receive training, support, networking, and practice multiple times throughout the 2012-13 school year.
Cost:
Student Achievement Consortium—$2225/team of up to 8 participants
All others—$3500/team of up to 8 participants
