Required Dyslexia Overview

This is a 6-hour overview course on Dyslexia developed by KSDE and is required for ALL K-6 teachers, SPED teachers, and Middle School/High School ELA teachers. In 2019, the Kansas State Board of Education approved dyslexia initiatives in Kansas. Schools must provide evidence-based professional learning opportunities regarding dyslexia, which include an overview of dyslexia characteristics, science or reading, and components of structured literacy.  Under no circumstances will this six-hour training prepare you to fully understand dyslexia, the characteristics of dyslexia, the science of reading, or structured literacy.  This training will inform and stretch your teaching practices, help you better understand this initiative, and find areas to take deeper dives in your learning.  This is for teachers who have not participated in this state-developed 6-hour overview on dyslexia before.
