Alt+Shift Update
Alt+Shift is working with Dr. Karen Erickson and Dr. David Koppenhaver to co-construct a certification pathway for becoming a trainer of a two-day emergent literacy training. Two prospective trainers engaged in this process are now ready to pilot the training at two sites. Our trainers will co-teach with either Dr. Erickson or Dr. Koppenhaver. We anticipate that pilot sites will receive the training by the end of the 2017-2018 school year.
