It is offered early in the morning during August to provide a learning opportunity while allowing for options for the balance of the day.
One option is to join the Alberta Literacy Institute, which is also offered on August 22 -23, running from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Check out the Registration Notes for further details on the option to access the afternoon sessions of the Alberta Literacy Institute.
The University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) will comprehensively review the UFLI Foundations' explicit and systematic phonics program. This will include a brief overview of the program, a review of essential background knowledge needed for implementation, and an overview of the manual and materials needed. Each lesson step will be covered in-depth with an opportunity to practice the newly learned strategies. Finally, there will be a brief overview to progress monitoring and differentiation.
This learning opportunity will provide participants with the information required to implement the UFLI Foundations effectively in their classrooms.
Participants who complete this training are also eligible to participate in the Facilitator Training program and subsequently deliver this Implementation training program in their school or division.
Please note that UFLI Presenters were directly involved in the development of the UFLI program and are work with the University of Florida.
