6-Day GLAD Training at ICS

ICS Teaches is pleased to offer this effective professional development course, designed for teachers looking for immersive training in the area of language acquisition and literacy.

The first 2 days of the 6-day in-person core Be GLAD® training will focus on the research and theory behind the GLAD strategies. This foundation is a prerequisite for the subsequent 4-day demonstration, which provides examples of the strategies in action with real-live students! Participants will be coached by a Certified Trainer as they witness a modified 6-week unit before their very eyes being demonstrated by another Certified Agency Trainer and a group of students who are attending our Summer Success program. Participants will also have the opportunity to plan, create, and modify units/lessons each afternoon with the guidance and support of trainers and colleagues.
