Course description
This series of workshops will support staff to use key DECYP resources and assessments as a framework for developmentally appropriate literacy practice for kindergarten.
Participants will bring along student data and observations and work together to design explicit and intentional learning experiences and reflect on how young children acquire early language and literacy skills.
Participants will have access to additional support throughout the year via online sessions and meetings as requested.
