Session one choices include Dyslexia, Writing across content areas, and vocabulary instructional routines.
From 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., the topic will be Strong Readers Act Overview, and then a lunch break.
The next session will include Dyslexia, Big 5 plus writing, and data decisions. The last session is going to be Cross District Collaborative Meetings, and then the closing from 2:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
This conference is completely free and an opportunity to gather information and ideas before the new school year begins.
