Learning Opportunities

Access to this recorded course starts December 15, 2022 and ends March 1, 2022

Here is a great opportunity for teachers to work with the Grade-Targeted Professional Learning Workshop from Katie Garner creator of Secret Stories to strengthen the five essential elements of reading instruction: phonemic awareness, phonics, comprehension, vocabulary and fluency.  The key difference in the Secret Stories work with phonics and phonemic awareness is the blending of the science of the brain and learning with the processes of language and reading development, a merging of the science of learning and the sciences of reading.  

Each recording is of a full-day equivalent workshop between 5 – 6 hours long.  Taking in the Christmas break we’ve received permission for those who register to access the recordings through to midnight of March 1, 2022.

This special access opportunity is only available to teachers in the SAPDC region.   In addition to the independent (or with fellow teachers at your school working through as many of the recordings as you like) we will be hosting two Q and A sessions January 12 from 4:00 – 5:30 pm and one in the evening Feb 1, 2022 at 7:00 – 8:30 pm with Katie Garner of Secret Stories.

We encourage you to visit the Secret Stories Website specifically the How it Works Section and the Research Section in addition to the recordings.
