This workshop is designed for teachers and administrators serving in districts participating in the GADoE’s dyslexia pilot; however, others interested in learning about dyslexia are welcome to attend as well.

Offered in partnership by Marietta City Schools and Lexia Learning:

Join Lexia’s Dr. Suzanne Carreker for a special event to learn about dyslexia, what it looks like in today’s classroom, and the challenges students with dyslexia face. Together we will explore how teachers and administrators can help address those difficulties, including better understanding and employing structured literacy in the classroom.
