NWEA literacy expert Dr. Tiffany Peltier hosts a timely, evidence-based webinar about dyslexia. Dr. Peltier shares research findings, details how screenings available in MAP Reading Fluency with Coach can support young readers, and offers strategies for helping colleagues and caregivers better understand our most common learning disability.

In this episode of The Continuing Educator, our hosts talk about how to establish a real rapport with your students and build a classroom culture where they can trust and thrive. The first step? Ask your kids how they want the class to work for them, and be honest about what you expect in return. Kids can smell inauthenticity. Plus: Tips for when to step in to kids’ conflicts with each other, the utility of unicorns and mermaids, and a google-form for hair-adjacent encouragement.

Funded by Microsoft’s AI for Accessibility Grant, NWEA joined with Perkins Access, Governor Morehead School, and Sonja Steinbach, a math educator who works with students with vision disabilities. Together, they embarked on a unique research partnership to make middle school mathematics assessments more accessible for students with vision impairments.

Educators are confronted by many common misconceptions about dyslexia, which can negatively impact how students progress in literacy. This webinar will help you make research-based decisions to support young readers, as well as share an overview of MAP Reading Fluency.

There’s no such thing as one-size-fits-all education. The right assessment is the key to reaching each and every student—exactly where they are.
