Presented by: Tim Odegard, Ph.D. Professor of Psychology and Chair of Excellence in Dyslexic Studies, Middle Tennessee State University In honor of Dyslexia Awareness Month, we examine the history of dyslexia, how it can be identified, and how to provide effective supports for students with reading difficulties, including dyslexia.

Presented by: Dr. Ben Clarke Professor, School Psychology Program & Director of the Center on Teaching and Learning, University of Oregon The goal of the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support framework is to ensure all children benefit from high-quality instruction and that those students who need additional support to fill gaps in their knowledge and skills […]

Access to high-quality, equitable math instruction is hardly a given, especially for historically marginalized students. Every child deserves a math education that allows them to make sense of the world quantitatively and to appreciate their own power to reason. During this on-demand webinar Dr. Kyndall Brown, co-author of Choosing to See: A Framework for Equity […]

Syntax and sentence comprehension are critical yet often forgotten contributors to comprehension.
