Group Training

Learning how to do teach a new technique takes modeling and practice. Your team will benefit from in-person or virtual demonstration of Draw-to-Draft, Teacher Underwriting, and Phonics Flexing. Schedule a half or full day training to go beyond the book to more structured literacy for ELs training.
