Fall Dyslexia Drive-In Conference
Preparing for Georgia's Dyslexia Law:
From Tier 1 Instruction through Interventions
Thursday, October 7, 2021
*Please Note: This conference is a collaborative effort between the following organizations:
Georgia Association of Elementary School Principals (GAESP)
Student Support Team Association of Georgia Education (SSTAGE)
Georgia Council for Administrators of Special Education (G-CASE)
Georgia Association of School Psychologists (GASP)
Georgia Organization of School-Based SLPs (GO-SSLP)
Georgia Dyslexia Collaborative (GDC)
During the 2024-2025 school year, all elementary schools in Georgia will be responsible for identifying K-3rd grade students who have characteristics of dyslexia and providing appropriate instruction and interventions for those students. Fortunately, that timeline gives school districts time to develop and implement highly effective practices and procedures.
If systems are going to accurately serve students who have characteristics of dyslexia, we must start with Tier 1, core instruction and then build appropriate instruction and interventions for students who struggle with reading. There must be on-going, effective collaboration between and training for central office personnel, school administrators and leaders, general education teachers, EIP teachers, and special education teachers.
BRING YOUR TEAM to this practical, timely, and informative Drive-In Conference!
Lunch, light refreshments, and a copy of Sharon Walpole and Michael C. McKenna's book, How to Plan for Differentiated Reading Instruction: Resources for Grades K-3 are included with the registration fee.
Limited Seating. Register early to ensure your participation.
