Agenda Item
a. Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling: LETRS – English Language Arts/Reading Initiative (Internal Capacity & Pedagogy Sustainability) – Year 2 of 2 (Not to exceed $397,100)
Summary: Presented by: Ms. Stacy Stepney, Chief Academic Officer, Division of Curriculum and Instruction
Request: It is requested that the Board of Education approve the second year of the Lexia Learning two-year agreement to offer LETRS professional development as a teacher resource providing the fundamentals of reading instruction - phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, writing, and language. LETRS is a professional learning course that provides in-depth knowledge and tools that can be used with any reading curriculum program. Additionally, LETRS is a professional learning program rooted in the Science of Reading.
Why: The DeKalb County School District is focused on building teacher capacity to provide strong, aligned reading instruction at the elementary level for kindergarten through grade 3. LETRS supports the District’s instructional framework for deep teaching and learning aligned to the instructional core. The professional development also supports the Georgia Early Literacy Act (HB538) which requires districts to require all public-school kindergarten through third grade teachers in Georgia to complete training in the science of reading, structured literacy, and foundational literacy skills.
Details: The Division of Curriculum and Instruction will partner with Lexia to provide LETRS professional development training for the second of two years to elementary educators. The LETRS professional development series will afford teachers with the skills to provide the high-quality literacy interactions that weave cognitive, social-emotional, and literacy and language skill development. Administrators participating in the LETRS professional learning opportunity will be able to create a Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) and structures to improve literacy instruction.
