Volume I includes 4 on-line units with a face-to-face training for each unit. All components are required and participants must attend all four face-to-face trainings. Units include: The Challenge of Learning to Read; The Speech Sounds of English; Teaching Beginning Phonics, Word Recognition, and Spelling; and Advanced Decoding, Spelling and Word Recognition. LETRS gives teachers the skills they need to master how to teach the five essential components of literacy, plus writing, spelling, and oral language. Teachers also learn: How to implement instructional routines and activities, Approaches to differentiate instruction to meet the literacy needs of all students, Bridge to Practice activities that ensure they can transfer what they learn in LETRS to the classroom.

This three-day series is designed to deepen your understanding of the what, why, and how of early literacy and language development, including assessment and instruction strategies. LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) provides the "science of reading” application of research into the classroom no matter the curriculum or program used. The blended learning format of this series includes three days of face-to-face training and self-paced online tutorials/videos of effective early childhood classroom instruction.

This registration link is only for the face-to-face trainings. You need to apply for materials and access to the online course with DESE through MO Read, Lead, Exceed.

In case of any inclement weather, there will be a backup training date of May 5, 2025.

The New Directors' Group will meet four times throughout the 24-25 school year to discuss a variety of topics and build relationships with other new directors. You will register for each session individually so look for all four of the dates in Frontline. You do not have to attend all four - you may pick and choose based on your schedule. We will plan to discuss leadership lessons, have some time for round table discussions/questions, and a portion of each day will focus on compliance issues facing special education directors.

The four meeting dates will be: October 18, 2024, December 6, 2024, February 21, 2025 and May 2, 2025. The meeting dates will be individually posted and you must register for each date you would like to attend.
