Program: RPDC - Southeast

Location: 1 Southeast Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Cape Girardeau, MO) [map]

Dates: 7/16/2024 to 9/22/2025

An additional session #1 has been added on August 7. Districts who wish to participate, but missed the first session in July are welcome to join by attending this session in August.

This seven session series spans a little over one school year- from July 2024 to September 2025. During this time, we will train your curriculum leaders to help teachers write curriculum in all subject areas, K-12. We will also provide them with the necessary templates to organize the curriculum. After each session, attendees will go back and work with teachers to complete the work that was discussed in that session. For that reason, districts should send curriculum directors, instructional coaches, and administrators. As the curriculum will be built online, having at least one staff member who is good with technology will also be important. Districts should send two to four people. Each session will cover a different aspect of the the curriculum process, so attendance at each session will be imperative. Our goal is that attendees will have the knowledge and skills to help their teachers write a complete curriculum by September 2025.

Dates: 10/3/2024 to 10/23/2024

*** Use this link to register for IN-PERSON viewing of hybrid training****

Tatyana Elleseff, MA CCC-SLP, will present this two-day training that will provide in-depth information regarding effective assessment and treatment practices in speech-language pathology with an emphasis on literacy, executive functions, as well as contextualized evidence-based interventions. She will explain which areas of language and literacy need to be tested for assessment purposes, as well as which speech-language standardized and clinical tests and tasks are most sensitive to detecting language and literacy difficulties in children with literacy impairments. Popular educational tests (e.g., WIAT-4, WJ-IV, KTEA, and FAR) will be briefly discussed for performance comparison purposes. The presenter will describe both SLP therapy-specific and collaborative literacy-based management options available to SLPs in the area of literacy disorders management before moving on to the discussion of the executive functions in speech pathology.

The presenter will then explain how to provide effective evidence-based practice (EBP) language and literacy interventions to improve executive functioning in children with language and literacy deficits.

Learning Objectives:
1.Discuss the connection between language and literacy
2.Identify risk factors associated with language and literacy disorders
3.Describe both the definition and the controversy surrounding the term "dyslexia”
4.Explain which assessment tasks sensitive to detection of literacy-based deficits
5.Clarify the role of SLPs in the management of literacy disorders in both therapy and classroom settings
6.Describe executive functions (EFs) models and discuss the current research on the role of executive functions in language and literacy (reading, spelling and writing) acquisition
