SUMMARY:Morphology Part 2 (Online)
DESCRIPTION:This interactive 1.5-hour virtual workshop invites educators to delve into the role of morphology in unlocking students’ spelling and vocabulary potential. Participants will examine how morphological instruction can enhance students’ comprehension of word structure\, enabling them to make sense of complex words more effectively. \nPart 2 of a 2 part series\, reviews the concepts of morphology and the steps of Structured Word Inquiry (SWI). Educators will practice three key suffixing rules\, gaining clarity as to when these conventions apply—and when they do not. Through hands-on practice with word sums\, word matrices\, and a suffix-checking diagram\, participants will develop strategies to effectively teach these conventions\, empowering students to analyze and understand the structure of words with confidence. \n* This is Part 2 of a 2 part series. It is suggested you attend Part 1 on Thursday\, January 30\, 2025. \nAudience: Elementary literacy teachers\, middle school literacy teachers\, instructional coaches\, literacy coaches\nLength: 1.5 hours\nPresenter: Meghan Sanchez \nOutcomes\n\nRecognize how morphology instruction can improve students’ spelling\, vocabulary\, and understanding of the English language\nPractice using morphological tools and routines to help students understand the meanings of various affixes and bases\nExplore 3 suffixing conventions using morphological tools like word sums\, word matrixes\, and suffix-checking diagrams\n\nTopics\n\nWhat is morphology?\nImportant Vocabulary of SWI\nSuffixing Rules Using Morphology\nAdditional Morphology Resources\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Teacher Bio\nMeghan Sanchez is a Teacher Training Consultant with Chartwell Teaching Institute (CTI).

SUMMARY:Structured Literacy Level 1 (3-day)
DESCRIPTION:Participants will learn a structured literacy approach to teaching reading\, aligned to the Knowledge and Practice Standards (KPS; Cowen\, 2016). IDA defines KPS as “the knowledge and skills that all teachers of reading should possess to teach all students to read proficiently.” Structured Literacy is explicit\, systematic teaching that focuses on phonological awareness\, word recognition\, phonics and decoding\, spelling\, and syntax at the sentence and paragraph levels and includes morphology\, vocabulary\, and fluency development. \nOutcomes\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will… \n\nLearn a structured literacy approach to teaching reading\, aligned to the Knowledge and Practice Standards(KPS; Cowen\, 2016).  \nLearn how to implement daily evidence-based explicit\, systematic\, diagnostic\, and multisensory reading instruction.\nBe able to implement a program with resources necessary for small group and/or whole class instruction.\n\nAttendees who complete the training will have the knowledge and skills to complete the KPEERI exam and apply for the Structured Literacy Classroom Teacher Certification through the Center for Effective Reading Instruction (CERI).

SUMMARY:Phonics Mastery:  Revealing the Reasons behind the English Code
DESCRIPTION:Do you want to learn the WHY behind so many English words? This one day workshop will provide teachers with valuable background knowledge by covering the spelling and phonics patterns that make 95% of ALL words decodable. Participants will engage in interactive activities\, group discussions\, and practical exercises to reinforce their understanding of phonics and spelling patterns. They will leave with valuable knowledge and resources to effectively teach essential phonics skills to their students and eliminate the need for “exceptions” to our language. \nDetails\nAudience: Elementary teachers\, coaches\, aides and paraprofessionalsLength: One Day WorkshopPresenter: Chantel Touryan-SchaeferDate: March 23rd and July 16thTime: 8:30am-3:30pm \nOutcomes\nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will… \n\nAcquire an understanding of phonics and spelling rules\, enabling them to integrate effective instructional techniques into their teaching practices\nLearn innovative strategies to make “sight words” decodable and far more memorable than rote practice.\nLeave with an expanded toolkit of resources\, activities\, and materials to support phonics and spelling instruction\, enabling them to create dynamic learning experiences for their students.\n\nTopics\n\nSound Symbol Connections\nImportance of Handwriting\nBasic and Advanced phonograms and spelling patterns\nTeaching High Frequency Words without rote memorization\n6 Syllable Types\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				Presenter Chantel Touryan-Schaefer\nChantel Touryan-Schaefer was a first-grade classroom teacher for 14 years before following her passion for reading instruction to become a Reading Specialist. \nChantel is a Reading Specialist and Certified Dyslexia Advocate in California and is working toward her CALT certification.
