Welcome to CVEDC

Elementary teachers and reading interventionists will learn about the research behind how children in PK-grade 5 develop comprehension. In particular, teachers will learn about the role of knowledge on readers’ linguistic comprehension skills, and how they can bring knowledge building practices into the literacy block to improve readers’ text understanding and overall literacy skill.

Effective Scaffolds and Becoming Responsive and Adaptive Experts in Math Instruction in Grades 2-6

This yearlong series with a virtual cohort will include Brain-Based Math Instruction: Addressing Opportunities to Learn Math and Removing Barriers (Grades 2-8), Effective Math Intervention & Scaffolds, Grades 2-6 and end with Becoming Responsive and Adaptive Experts.

This virtual session is targeting Grades 4-8 Interventionists, special educators, classroom educators, MTSS, EST and Data Teams.

In this session, participants will learn about the stages of reading as well as review assessments used for progress monitoring, then have practice looking at assessment data and determining next steps for instruction based on the progress monitoring data.

Participants are also encouraged to bring their own progress monitoring data and there will be time to workshop the data and identify next steps for instruction. We will provide training data for those unable to bring their own.
