First Grade Academy

Join Sandi Brown, Daybreak Primary first grade teacher, for three sessions highlighting different components of successful literacy instruction in a first grade classroom. In these sessions, first grade teachers will learn best practices for literacy instruction. Teachers will receive PD focused on these practices, will have opportunities to observe lessons in a first grade classroom, and will have time to plan lessons together. Each session will feature a demonstration of the session's highlighted component and time for debriefing, discussion, and questions. First Grade Academy is geared toward first or second-year first grade teachers, BUT IS OPEN TO ALL 1st GRADE TEACHERS.
