Video/Webinar
Training and support for tutors and teachers working with students reading and writing below an eighth-grade level.
Most tutors and teachers receive quality training before they start working with students. However, once they begin their teaching experience, they have little access to additional training and support.
Teacher Training Plus is a webinar series across six strands that presents best-practice instructional strategies.
Within each strand, we identified three areas of need and designed webinars to address each. Throughout all three topics, we addressed working in a multilevel class or group and converting in-person teaching strategies to distance learning.
Generously funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
