“Improving Instruction for Students with Dyslexia” is a professional development course developed by the Tennessee Center for the Study & Treatment of Dyslexia at Middle Tennessee State University.

The course is designed for school personnel (general education teachers, special education and resource teachers, reading teachers and literacy leaders, administrators, school psychologists, and speech language pathologists) who want to better identify dyslexia in grades K-12 and provide appropriate intervention and accommodations to students with dyslexia. Although this course is designed with school personnel in mind, parents of students with dyslexia as well as adults with dyslexia are welcome to take this course in order to learn more about dyslexia. The focus of the course, however, remains in the classroom.

Registration Fees: Single=$150; School licences (10 or more)=$100 each; Students in courses (15 or more)=$25 each.

There are four modules in this course which must be taken in sequence:
Module 1: Introduction to Dyslexia
Module 2: Assessment of Dyslexia
Module 3: Intervention for Students with Dyslexia
Module 4: Accommodations for Students with Dyslexia

If you successfully complete all four modules (including a quiz at the end of each module, on which you must score at least 70%) you will receive Continuing Education Units and a Certificate of Completion.
