SUMMARY:Intensifying Instruction Through Differentiations Across All Tiers
DESCRIPTION:Instructional time in small-group settings is a precious commodity that we must use thoughtfully and intentionally. Even the most well-designed independent activities can’t match the impact of time spent with a skilled teacher.  We’re excited to partner with The Reading League Oklahoma to host Dr. Jamey Peavler\, Assistant Professor and Program Facilitator in the Graduate Reading Science Program at Mount St. Joseph University. She’ll share insights on intensifying instruction to ensure every student’s needs are met.  Don’t miss this opportunity—register now: https://bit.ly/PeavlerIntensifyIntervention
