This workshop is targeted to early childhood educators. It covers the foundations and research behind early child literacy and oral language development, how to administer and score all subtests of the PELI measures, and how to use the results within an an RtI/Outcomes-Driven Model.

This workshop offers advanced training in the use of PELI data to make educational decisions for preschool children within an Outcomes-Driven Model. Topics include using PELI data to (a) identify children who need additional instructional support to attain early literacy outcomes, (b) plan instructional support, (c) monitor progress in early literacy skills of all children, and (d) evaluate outcomes. In addition, the workshop will cover techniques and strategies for training others to administer and score the PELI. Participants will become PELI Mentors and receive official presentation materials for the PELI Essential Workshop, which they can use to train others. Prerequisites: PELI Essential Workshop.

This two-day workshop provides introductory and comprehensive training for Acadience Reading users. Topics include the foundations of Acadience Reading, administration and scoring of all measures, and how to use Acadience Reading within an RtI/Outcomes-Driven Model.

This workshop provides training on the use of Acadience Reading data at the systems- and student-level for improving reading outcomes, progress monitoring, and evaluating the effectiveness of reading instructional support. It includes Pathways of Progress training.

This workshop provides an introductory and comprehensive training on Acadience Math. Topics include the foundations of Acadience Math, administration and scoring of all measures, and the logistics of assessment and use within an outcomes-driven model.

This workshop offers advanced training in the use of Acadience Math data in an Outcomes-Driven Model, perfect for schools implementing a Response to Intervention or Multi-tiered System of Support approach. Topics include using data to match students to resources, grouping students for instruction, selecting materials for progress monitoring, and evaluating the effectiveness of instruction. Prerequisites: Acadience Math Essential Workshop.

This workshop covers the administration and scoring of Acadience Reading Diagnostic: Phonemic Awareness & Word Reading and Decoding (PA & WRD) and Acadience Reading Survey for the purposes of identifying the target phonemic awareness and word reading/decoding skills to teach during reading instruction, determining instructional levels, and determining progress monitoring levels.

The workshop provides training on the administration and scoring of Acadience Reading: Comprehension, Fluency, and Oral Language (CFOL) for the purposes of identifying the target reading comprehension and comprehension-related skills to teach. Practice activities and case examples explore the connections between these assessments, Acadience Reading screening data, classroom instruction, and intervention.

This workshop provides an administrator-specific overview of how to use Acadience Reading to improve reading outcomes. Content customized for administrators’ needs.

This workshop provides training on a research-based tool for Acadience Reading K-6 called Pathways of Progress, which can be used by educators to set meaningful, ambitious, and attainable goals for students in grades K-6. The workshop also includes guidance on using a reporting tool available with Pathways that provides summative reading growth data (i.e., the new Summative Growth Report). These data may be useful as one indicator of student reading growth within a comprehensive educator evaluation and accountability program.
