SECOND LEVEL CONTINUUM
This class includes a brief, basic review of the introductory class, then an introduction and practice of more advanced techniques in the language arts continuum. The use of the dictation paragraph and the screening procedures for identifying students will also be presented.
THIRD LEVEL CONTINUUM/INTERN
This class is designed for a limited number of participants wishing to become staff teachers in Slingerland training classes. This class encompasses all learning in the introductory and second level classes as the participant learns how to organize, maintain and evaluate a summer session, its students and participants. Class instructor approval is required to take this class.
Participants may also enroll in the Third Level Continuum Class for more directed work with small groups of students. Daily lesson plans are developed to meet the needs of these students under the direction of the Slingerland Instructor.
