Training
Training for individual teacher and teams delivering interventions to struggling adolescent readers
We encourage teacher training to ensure program effectiveness. The value of a teacher’s interactions with students and their ability to use The Third Quest explicitly and diagnostically creates engagement with the disengaged and improved reading skills for students who have plateaued.
VIRTUAL THIRD QUEST TRAINING
