SCIENCE— Grades K-5

Krystina White - krystinawhitescope@gmail.com

3 Credits - Inservice - October 8 — December 15

This asynchronous virtual course explores how the brain processes reading and how cognitive science informs reading development and instruction. Educators will deepen their understanding of how students learn to read, what causes reading difficulties, and how research-based strategies can support all learners. Practical application of theory to instructional design will be a focus throughout the course. An optional Google Meet will be offered during Week 5 to support participant discussion, questions, and real-time collaboration.
