The Learning Bar provides four courses:
-
Systematic Reading Instruction
-
The Science of Teaching
-
The Science of Assessment
These courses will provide educators with the fundamental skills – decoding and language comprehension – that children must acquire to become fluent and efficient readers and the strategies that are most effective in teaching these skills.
Learning Outcomes
Each course is grounded in key evidence from academic research, linked to proven and practical classroom pedagogy, and connected to leading-edge educational policy, assessment, and governance strategies. Participating teachers will learn about the most up-to-date research on the science of reading and have a deep understanding of how to teach children to read using a structured and engaging approach.
Educators leave the course with:
-
A clearly defined scope and sequence for teaching reading
-
Instructional strategies on phonics, morphology, and reading comprehension.
-
Aligned engaging activities, games, and worksheets.
