Professional Learning Communities at Work®

The COVID-19 pandemic brought a long-standing challenge in U.S. schools to the forefront: more than two-thirds of students cannot read at grade level. Alarmingly, if students are not proficient in reading by the end of third grade, they are more likely to drop out. This realization has sparked a growing interest in the science of reading, a decades-long body of interdisciplinary research that examines the multifaceted nature of reading development. By embedding the science of reading into instructional practices, teachers can ensure students recognize words and understand their meaning—thus supporting reading fluency.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly evolving and transforming education. While the tools are increasingly accessible and society at large has embraced the power of AI, most teachers are not using it. One of their biggest barrier to entry? Time. Now, you can master AI tools for your classroom on your own schedule!
