IDA Takes Bold Steps to Improve Teacher Knowledge and Practice
As current Chair and previous member of IDA’s Professional Development Committee, Dr. Suzanne Carreker helped to create IDA’s Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading.We asked Dr. Carreker questions about the following:
- IDA’s process and rationale for creation of the Knowledge and Practice Standards for Teachers of Reading
- IDA’s goals for use of the KPS as a framework for course content in university-based teacher training programs that prepare teachers of reading
-
IDA’s process and rationale for shifting from use of the term recognition of these university-based teacher training programs to accreditation
- IDA’s plans for creation of a certification exam and certification of individuals who teach reading
- How credentialing relates to IDA’s process for reviewing university programs for accreditation and reviewing qualifications of individuals for certification.

Dr. Cheesman’s App Chat: Games to Boost Math Skills
There are times when we want kids to put down the iPad or tablet and to play traditional games (e.g., dominoes, board games, card games) with humans, particularly when the whole family is on vacation and it has been raining for days. Playing traditional games is beneficial on many social and academic levels and can provide real-time practice for children in both reading and math skills. Read More.

Video Library: Sylvia Richardson
Dr. Sylvia Onesti Richardson, the eighth President of the Orton Dyslexia Society, now the International Dyslexia Association, was described by Rosemary Bowler upon her presentation of the Samuel T. Orton Award in 1992 to Sylvia as “perhaps the most articulate, traveled, and acclaimed spokesperson for dyslexia in the nation.” Sylvia’s involvement with the education, speech-language and medical communities helped to cross-fertilize the cutting-edge research with which she and other members of the Society were engaged, thus helping to disseminate this critical information. She has written or helped to write over 100 publications and has received honors and awards from a number of organizations.
 Having been active in so many organizations supporting learning disabilities, why has the Orton Society, now the International Dyslexia Association, been so fortunate to have secured Dr. Richardson’s devotion to its mission? In this video Karen Dakin interviews Dr. Richardson who explains why she found her home with the IDA and, with her usual wit and intelligence, so much more about her remarkable career. Watch the Interview.
