RWU Student Teaching SOR Awareness PD

RWU Student Teaching SOR Awareness PD

The purpose of this professional learning community is to come together as senior teacher candidates with assigned university clinical educators to explore and meet the Science of Reaching (SOR) and Structured Literacy awareness competencies, as outlined by the Rhode Island Department of Education (RIDE). This SOR professional development will serve as a foundation for all RWU teacher candidates seeking state licensure from our programs. During senior residency, candidates will engage in learning activities that further demonstrate their commitment to self-growth, reflection, and elevating student access to content that will support their success via an MTSS practice lens.
This PLC requires an enrollment key.  You can find your enrollment key on your Syllabus in the Textbook and Virtual Engagement Resources sections.
