What we need now in teaching is a certain mindset

and a willingness to grow. We need to leave our
assumptions behind and learn about the science
behind literacy development and instruction so that
we can serve the greatest number of kids. Literacy is a
fundamental civil right, and yet effective reading
methods have not by and large been accessible to
teachers or students. We need educators with clear
eyes, a diversity of educational experiences, a
willingness to learn, and a mindset for success.

Learning Outcomes:

Participants will value their personal education
journey as preparing them for a profession in
education. Participants will know the profile of
an effective teacher.
Participants will understand the importance of
evidence based literacy instruction.
