Virtual Learning on ELA Program: Benchmark Advance

Picture
April 1st & 2nd from 1:00-2:30pm
Several NC districts are considering ELA programs for Fall implementation and we wanted to offer some virtual opportunities to continue the learning about Benchmark Advance for those who would like to attend.

Two of our National Literacy consultants, Kenzie Cheek and Morgan Womick (who both live here in NC) will facilitate these virtual learning sessions on Benchmark Advance. During this time, we will do a deep dive into the program pedagogy and components. We will look at assessment and explore the interactive digital platform.  You will have time to ask questions. If you'd like to attend, just send us an email with which date you'd like to join, and we'll email you the login information!
