Teaching Reading to Adults

The Teaching Reading to Adults mini-cohort focuses on what evidence-based reading instruction (EBRI) is, how to assess adult learners in each of the 4 essential components of reading, and strategies for teaching EBRI. This professional development activity takes place over 8 weeks and involves an online course via Canvas and live webinars for a robust learning experience for participants.

Structure:

• Approximately 16-hour commitment (averaging about 2 hours per week for 8 weeks)
• 4 synchronous webinars over 8 weeks
• Weekly asynchronous work
• CEUs and $200 stipend for completion
