Learn new and effective tools for working with students with Dyslexia

EDUCATOR SUPPORT

Watching students with Dyslexia, struggle is hard

It can be even harder when you are not sure what more you can do to help

Building a strong foundation makes all the difference! Components of a strong foundation include:

  • A deep Understanding of your Student’s Uniquely Dyslexic Brain and how to support them to play to their strengths

  • Emotional Navigation Skills - ability to identify emotions and shift from frustration to winning (these tools work great for the whole classroom)

  • Creating Successful Environments - where your students can take responsibility for what they need and thrive

  • Strong Network of Support - how to foster self-determination, asking for help, and building networks of support

These tools and frameworks are built with a busy educator in mind, they are easy to manage, highly effective, and fun.

Let’s use these foundational blocks to build a new playground

A space where you and your students can feel successful!

This is social emotional learning at its funnest! Learning the tools and frameworks in this playground can honestly change your teaching and maybe even your life.
