Hey Allison, great PD! I'm finishing up my 11th year of teaching. Our district is mandating every reading teacher take the LETRS Training. I think it's really fascinating. I also enjoyed the video on how to become a reading specialist. I'm bonding if a reading endorsement is the same thing.
Yes, Virginia has passed laws that are requiring us to align our course content to the science of reading. I am trying to figure out how to do this for health and physical education.
