Video/Webinar
Teacher Training Plus is a webinar series across four strands that presents best-practice instructional strategies. Training and support for tutors and teachers working with students reading and writing below an 8th grade level.
Within each strand, we identified three areas of need and designed webinars to address each. Throughout all three topics, we addressed working in a multilevel class or group and converting in-person teaching strategies to distance learning.
This strand is best for instructors teaching adults who are learning workplace skills
Generously funded by the Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
