Several Marshall County teachers and administrators recently attended the Kentucky Reads to Succeed Summer Conference in Lexington.
According to an article in the Kentucky Teacher publication, nearly 1,500 K-12 public educators and administrators attended the conference to learn more about evidence-based literacy practices for meeting the diverse needs of student readers.
The conference was hosted by the Kentucky Department of Education's Office of Teaching and Learning, which included consultants from KDE and other partners in education.
KDE Chief Academic Officer Micki Ray was quoted in the Kentucky Teacher saying "we are working to ensure educators across the state are equipped and empowered with the skills and resources they need to best support their students."
South Marshall Elementary School teacher Mandy Miller had the opportunity to serve on a panel at the conference. The panelists discussed their experiences and the impact the LETRS (Language Essentials for Teachers of Reading and Spelling) program has had on their teaching practices.
We are so proud of the influence our teachers have not only on the students in our classrooms, but also on other teachers throughout the state as well.
