✔ Have you ever wanted to run and hide when you are called to the principal's office to talk about your class...or you?
✔ Are you frustrated that there doesn't appear to be an instruction approach out there that you can afford...and/or one program that works for all your students?

✔ And when it comes down to it, you wonder if you'll ever end a school year with a class full of fluent readers?

Today's session was so eye-opening for me! It made me think of my students and in those exact struggles and how they may feel. the struggle, the frustration, the desire to do better, but unable to at the "speed" we would like. I would love for teachers to be trained or experience this workshop to help get just a glimpse of what our dyslexic babies are learning to navigate through. Thank you for this session!

Going through this simulation as a teacher I was able to take a peek into some student perspective. It was a wonderful experience. Helped me rethink some of my teacher sayings and how I watch and expect.
-Inez, Teacher
Eye-opening of understanding why our students may act out or how they feel when struggling. Great PD!
-Sandra, Teacher
My eyes were opened to so many of the struggles that I see in my students and why they may be happening. Their frustration is so real and can't be helped unless we step in and be their support and grace.
-Mary, Teacher
{In regards to a strategy suggested by Jennifer of Demystifying Dyslexia}
The students cheered when I said they could pick which activity to complete. Students were fully engaged and we could have spent multiple days completing the activity. There is such a great variety of activity that all students were able to find a creative outlet that they enjoyed. This could easily be done with most subjects.
-Amy, Teacher
