This in-depth training looks into the science of reading research for teaching vocabulary, reading comprehension, and writing. Participants will link oral language to vocabulary, writing phases of development and spelling. Instructional practices will be reviewed for understanding writing phases across genre, and how explicit lesson planning can change comprehension, vocabulary retention and spelling. Participants will also walk away with the ability to distinguish between comprehension products and processes while using and viewing multiple lessons/resources for deepening the foundations of reading. Teachers will be asked to apply the information on chosen students.

All training facilitated by a LETRS certified trainer.

Join us for an enriching learning experience at our Regional Learning Blade Professional Development sessions across Missouri. In these sessions, you will learn how Learning Blade supports STEM, computer science, and CTE, and how our program can be implemented in a variety of classroom settings!

What is Learning Blade?

Aligned to MO 5th-9th grade math, science, ELA, social studies, and technology standards.

Builds skills, awareness and interest in STEM, CS, and CTE careers and technologies

STEM-Hands-on projects: Interdisciplinary lessons Design: thinking exercices: 3D printing projects and models

CS-20+ hours coding course: career exploration: Online and offline engagement of CS principles

CTE-Exploration of 100+ careers with interactive lessons: Career videos

In addition, these sessions will cover:

Best practices for integrating interdisciplinary curriculum.

How to implement support to educators and the whole school building.

How to train other building instructors to work with Learning Blade.

*In strategic partnership with eDynamic Learning. Fully funded by Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.*

This event is designed for district teams of 3-4 members. It will be a systematic approach to identifying important recommendations for improvement at both the individual student and district level. Each team will bring their own IEP set for one student in their district that includes the evaluation report and 3 consecutive IEPs. Teams will chart the student's evaluation report and IEP information and analyze the relationship between IEP components to identify Golden Thread relationships within the evaluation report and IEP sets. On the individual student level, teams will determine whether the design of the IEPs was reasonably calculated to provide educational benefit across three years of consecutive IEPs. On the district level, teams will evaluate the special education services offered with the intent to use the information to improve practices and outcomes for all students with exceptionalities.

LETRS for Early Childhood Educators is a professional learning experience for pre-K and Kindergarten teachers that provides deep knowledge of early literacy instruction. Teachers gain new skills to help young learners build a literacy foundation before they even learn to read or write.

This professional learning experience:
Helps teachers understand the development of oral language, print knowledge, alphabet learning, and writing skills.
Provides the "why” and "how” of early literacy instruction across all domains: language, literacy, cognitive, motor, social, and emotional.
Empowers teachers to apply best practice strategies to guide children's learning.

This dynamic blended learning experience includes three components:
LETRS Online Learning Platform
LETRS for Early Childhood Educators Print Manual
LETRS for Early Childhood Educators Professional Learning Sessions (Live In-Person or Live Online)

During the LETRS for Early Childhood Educators course of study, you'll watch videos of expert teaching, complete activities to reinforce concepts, and have opportunities to apply what you're studying with young learners.
