Special Education Administrators share best practices in the Science of Reading

Oct 30, 2024
 
 

 

We’re excited to invite you to an informative pre-conference workshop at the national CASE Conference in Savannah, Georgia, on November 6.

 

Workshop: Scaling Up a District-Wide Literacy Intervention
Topic: Building Structures to Support Special Education Teachers in Implementing with Fidelity and Closing Gaps
Time: 9:00 – 11:30 A.M.

 

Jennifer Thompson, IRR Instructional Coordinator with Fulton County School District’s Services for Exceptional Children, will share insights from the district’s seven-year collaboration with Lindamood-Bell. 

Beginning in 2017, Fulton County Schools, a district of 90,000 students, began scaling up a district-wide literacy initiative to respond to the lack of consistent reading instruction by their special educators. The district selected a program focused on developing the underlying sensory-cognitive functions students need to learn to read. Over time, and through the pandemic, the district created structures in real-time in response to the needs of students, teachers, and district leadership that have resulted in identifiable changes in the performance of special education students’ reading scores, including in the district’s most struggling schools.

This presentation will outline why Fulton County determined the need to change its literacy instructional practices for special education students, what it wanted from a literacy professional development provider, who it identified as the necessary stakeholders, how it supported them in their roles, and how the implementation has continued to evolve from the initial design. Data showing Fulton County’s special education students’ positive growth in closing the reading gap with their general education peers will be shared.

Don’t miss this opportunity to hear how the district successfully scaled up this important initiative!
