Course Description

• This is a book study on Conquering Dyslexia by Dr. Jan Hasbrouck. Participants will have the opportunity to read the content and then engage in discussions with peers during our virtual meeting time. We will discuss how the content can impact our instructional practices. The class will culminate with each participant bringing a case study to discuss in a small group and/or by creating a presentation for colleagues. Each participant will also complete a Reflection of Learning.
