Chartwell Teacher Training Institute: Structured Literacy Certificate (Session 1) @ Chartwell School
Jun 18 @ 8:00 am – Jun 22 @ 3:30 pm

The Chartwell Way: Structured Literacy Teacher Training Institute

There are two program options available to meet your needs. During the Morning Intensive, Chartwell faculty will train you to implement the successful methods that we have honed during the past three decades.

The Afternoon Practicum presents an opportunity for hands-on experience with struggling readers under the guidance of a Chartwell Master Teacher. Educators enrolled in the Afternoon Practicum will have the unique opportunity to practice their newly-acquired conceptual and foundational knowledge in an actual classroom setting while students will be able to benefit from a one-on-one reading tutorial and significantly increase reading strategies. This approach is known as The Chartwell Way.

You will earn a Chartwell Structured Literacy Certificate and Continuing Education Credits.

For more information on the CEUs available through CSUMB, use this link.

Two duplicate sessions of the morning and afternoon programs will be offered. Session 1 will run June 18-22.
