Sustaining Slingerland Skills - September 21, 2024

Sustaining Slingerland Skills classes are follow-up classes intended for those who have completed at least the Introductory Comprehensive class. Specific classes may be appropriate for those who have taken a Slingerland short class based on topic. Each class will focus on a particular aspect of the Slingerland® Approach, the Slingerland lesson plan, structured literacy, and/or the science of reading. Follow-up classes may include lecture, video presentations, discussion, and question-and-answer.

Classes are held virtually to offer this opportunity to the widest audience possible. Sustaining Slingerland Skills: Follow-up classes are eligible for 3 IMSELC-accredited CEU hours for those seeking recertification as a Certified Slingerland Teacher (CST) or Certified Slingerland Instructor of Teachers (CSIT).

The September 21, 2024 session will focus on the following two topics:

1. “Integration Rules Slingerland® Instruction!—Top to Bottom—AVK/VAK—Skills to Functional Use.” We will begin with an overview followed by limited focus on both the Visual and the Auditory parts of the Daily Lesson Plan Format.
2. Class participants' selection topics for the remaining Sustaining Slingerland Skills: Follow-up classes for school year 2024-25
