Congratulations to these outstanding educators for successfully completing their two-year Science of Reading professional development!
We are incredibly proud of the dedication they have shown to strengthening their knowledge of how students learn to read. Through this journey, they have gained powerful instructional strategies that will help support and grow strong readers in their classrooms for years to come.

Your leadership and commitment to growing literacy instruction across our district is truly appreciated.
