Empowering Educators,
Transforming Classrooms
Chartwell Teaching Institute (CTI) offers professional development courses to educators who want to expand their knowledge base and incorporate evidence based practices in their classroom. At the heart of the institute is our week-long International Dyslexia Association (IDA) Accredited Structured Literacy Course. This workshop is based in the Science of Reading and offered at both the elementary and secondary levels for general education and special education teachers. We lead additional workshops that focus on supporting students in specific areas of learning, such as executive functioning, assistive technology, and social emotional academic development.

Learning to read is so important and this course provides so much helpful information for implementing systematic, explicit, sequential, multi-sensory direct instruction. I can’t wait to use it in my classroom this year.
I would and will 100% recommend this course to others. This course is essential for reading teachers (all subjects require reading so all teachers should take it). It dives in deep to the why and how to teach reading, as well as real life examples of solid phonics instruction. Where our credential programs give the overview in order to pass RICA, this course goes much further and actually instructs teachers on how to.
You are all very human and sensitive to our backgrounds and what we need. I appreciate your attention to social-emotional learning. I was also fascinated by how much I did not know about reading, yet I have been teaching kids to read my entire career!
