Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Assuming the role of an educator is a sign of a person who is a life-long learner. This represents me and how I view myself as an educator. This professional development is would help me to grow as a teacher of literacy by keeping me up-to-date in reading research centered on the Science of Reading while providing me with the crucial tools to model effective teaching practices. This virtual training would also provide decodable texts for students that would help them practice phonics skills to achieve reading success! I will use the provided blending boards to encourage fluent decoding and use the Teacher's Spelling Guide to ensure accurate and successful encoding is occurring for all learners.
