ECRI for New Teachers
ECRI for New Teachers
Enhanced Core Reading Instruction™ (ECRI) is a multi-tiered program (Tier 1 and Tier 2) featuring a series of teaching routines designed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of reading instruction in kindergarten, first and second grade.
This course will present information and research about evidence-based reading instruction, and describe and model how to use instructional routines to enhance the delivery of core reading instruction in a multi-tiered system of Tier 1 and Tier 2 support. Systematic strategies and instructional routines designed to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of reading instruction in kindergarten, first and second grade will be described and practiced. By the end of this course, participants will understand how and why (a) using instructional routines can enhance current core reading instruction, and (b) how aligning Tier 1 and Tier 2 reading instruction can lead to high student reading outcomes. Topics will include incorporating explicit instructional elements, aligning intervention for at-risk readers with core instruction, using assessment data to inform and refine instruction, and implementing instructional routines that focus on the essential components of beginning reading instruction.
Join us for this two-day training to learn the Foundational ECRI routines and how to implement them with fidelity in your classroom. The training will entail learning and practicing each routine while also understanding the "why" of ECRI. Please bring the following:

Derrick Tennant made the most of a tragedy in his life by creating an opportunity for a career. As a promising athlete, Tennant was progressing in his dream for a career in sports when one evening he laid down but did not wake up for three days.
Paralyzed and in a coma, Tennant underwent brain surgery from which he became unable to move his left side. It would take years of therapy to relearn the basics like walking, talking and simple daily tasks. Tennant is still unable to use his left arm and he walks with a limp, but he has learned a lot through this process.
When it comes to a corporate entertainment it's important to find an act that can both make you laugh, and effectively communicate a powerful message. Having overcome a lot in his life, Tennant is just that act. Bringing his message of turning “Obstacles into Opportunities”, Tennant inspires, motivates and energizes his audience and keeps them smiling all along.
