Workshops
A. How Spelling Errors Identify Student Needs and Inform Instruction
Presenter: Suzanne Carreker, Ph.D.
Dee will discuss the implications of neuroscience research for teaching and learning, with an emphasis on dyslexia. Dyslexic brains are uniquely organized and function differently. This alternative brain design reflects cerebrodiversity—a term that refers to human neural heterogeneity and the resulting profiles of cognitive strengths and weaknesses. While the keynote address will focus on technology as a solution for success, Dee Rosenberg will offer in-depth information for the remainder of the day on how effective reading instruction in the classroom for dyslexic students is achieved. (Intended audience: professional).
