Lee Pesky Learning Center Inc

Training and consultation delivers a variety of classes and specialized training to teachers, schools, and school districts in research-based methods of teaching literacy. During the year, the center taught classes to teachers and consulted with school districts and the idaho department of education working with over 600 teachers. The center's training and consultation services help idaho school districts as they work to implement the common core standards.

Through grant funding and contracts the center continues to provide training and resources to early childhood educators and parents. We train child care providers to use research-based early literacy instructional methods to better prepare preschoolers for school, and we distribute our every child ready to learn booklets, abc learning mats and literacy learning mats to parents. The center also is contributing to research projects with professors from different universities. One project is validating our self-regulated learner framework and another project is refining our academic coaching model.
