Professional development

Turning Theory Into Reality!

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Being a teacher means making a commitment to lifelong learning. With education being an ever-changing, ever-expanding field and with new developments happening often, professional development is a crucial part of achieving continued educational success and reaching teaching goals.

This project will assist in building the capacity and knowledge of the wonderful teachers at K.E.S.!

These books will provide quality professional development to enable teachers and administrators to integrate the Science of Reading into the curriculum to meet this change in curriculum.

Participants will use these texts to prepare for this shift in learning, evaluate the effectiveness of teaching and learning, and measure the impact of this shift on teacher practice and student achievement.
