Teach Like a Champion-Science of Reading #1: Introduction to Book Study
2026-09-10 15:30 - 16:30 (America/New_York) | Virtual via Zoom
Join us for the first session of our year-long book study! In this inaugural session, participants will sign up to receive their copy of The Teach Like a Champion Guide to the Science of Reading and explore its overarching framework. We will unpack how the brain learns to read, focusing on the relationship between working memory, automaticity, and comprehension. Educators will analyze how classroom culture impacts cognitive load and learn how to position reading as an active, engaging pursuit. By the end of this session, we will establish book study norms and outline our future meeting expectations. Participants will leave with a fire in their belly, ready to improve reading instruction and get every student reading on grade level.

SECONDARY SUCCESS COLLABORATIVE LEARNING COMMUNITY #1
2026-09-24 15:30 - 16:30 | Virtual via Zoom
Join us for the first Secondary Success CLC! This initial circle will focus on the direct link between literacy gaps and student disengagement. We will share strategies to address chronic absenteeism by designing welcoming, high-engagement classrooms that prioritize connection and community. Bring your building’s early attendance and engagement metrics. We will discuss frameworks that you can use to pull disengaged learners back into the academic fold.

SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS COLLABORATIVE LEARNING COMMUNITY #1: MATH INTERVENTIONS
2026-09-29 15:30 - 16:30 | Virtual via Zoom
Math struggles often hide longer than reading struggles because they show up as avoidance, shutdown, or “not trying” rather than an obvious skill gap. This session covers practical, evidence-based interventions for students who are behind in math, plus how to recognize when disengagement is actually a signal of unmet academic need.

MTSS Series #1: Introduction to MTSS
2026-09-30 15:30 - 17:00 | Virtual via Zoom
ALL schools in Ohio are required to provide academic failure prevention and intervention strategies for ALL students. The most effective way to provide these supports is a well-developed Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS) process. Multi-tiered Systems of Supports involves educators closely monitoring student progress and intervening when progress lags. Multi-tiered systems of supports are general education initiatives involving educators, parents, and students in a true discussion of progress and in support through intervention. Come to this session to learn how to really do and really succeed with MTSS!
