ISLA Proudly Presents: Chips, Dip, & Praxis 5205 Tips!

Register Here: 5205 Praxis Tips
Date: Jan 30th
Time: 6:30-7:15 EST

Indiana is on a pathway to increasing literacy success across the state. One key area of focus is teacher knowledge and application. When the state requirement for passing the Praxis 5205 was first announced, I was filled with fear & dread (my most normal response, I often have to re-program my mind to stay positive - topic for another day). Test-taking is NOT my strong suit but teaching best practices in literacy instruction is my obsession! What if this assessment declared a big fat no?!  After several deep breath moments ("smell the flowers, blow out the candles" -- thank you, Dr. Lori Desautels), my mind started tracing the training in Structured Literacy. Following up with teaching the required content over the summer with Keys to Literacy, thankfully, I passed the hurdle, and I'm eager to discuss this adventure with you. 

On January 30th, I will share some tips & strategies during our Indiana State Literacy Association mini-event webinar. If you are having a moment, and you haven't taken this next step, join us for some networking, fun, and strategy tips. Oh, and don't forget to bring your favorite snack! I look forward to seeing you!
