Welcome!
Secondary RLA Notebook
🌷Dear Secondary RLA Colleagues,
This is the first edition of the Secondary RLA Notebook.
I am Donna Scherr, your new Secondary Literacy Consultant. I am looking forward to meeting all of you and reconnecting with many of you this year. I have had the pleasure of working across multiple grades focused on RLA and Dyslexia at Region 14.
- My first gift is Digging through All STAAR Secondary RLA Data with Tosh McGaughy Thursday, October 1st. Registration! Dig a little. Try out some strategies. Dig a little. A few more. Dig a little.. well, you get the idea.
- For vertical alignment, she will be here September 30th for 3-5. Tell a friend.
- Sincerely, Donna Scherr, Secondary Reading/Language Arts Consultant & LETRS® Site Trainer🌷dscherr@esc14.net 325-675-7009 PITStop: https://pitstop.esc14.net/PITStop/
