\u00a0On Oct 1st and 2nd, we hosted 2 days of Fast ForWord training\u00a0 with Tom Chapin (Trainer Extraordinaire from Arkansas!) from Scientific Learning.\u00a0 What a marathon of excitement and possibilities!\u00a0Our brains certainly had a workout and Tom’s stories\u00a0kept us in stitches. \u00a0 Focus on the 1st was on secondary (Burnaby Mountain, Byrne Creek, Fraser Park) and on the 2nd, elementary (Cascade Heights, Westridge, Armstrong, Taylor Park, Gilmore, Morley).\u00a0 We had a day of hands on experience with the exercises along with beginning foundations on brain neuroscience, intervention examples and other supports online.\u00a0 As we moved through the practice exercises, reflection comments and questions, it reaffirmed that the program was part of a larger picture in literacy for our students.\u00a0 For some it may be the one piece that will help them become successful learners, for others it will lay out foundations that were missed.\u00a0 And for many it will also affirm that “attachment” as suggested by Gordon Neufeld is a huge piece of the puzzle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SUPPORT STUFF! –\u00a0The Advisory\u00a0Committee, through feedback gleaned from last year’s sites,\u00a0 provided\u00a0each site\u00a0with intervention boxes, posterboard organizations, and flashcards to support both LSS program and regular classroom program.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
