LCCT is currently offering various 3-hour professional development workshops designed to be quick reviews of best practices for literacy program staff and instructors. Workshops will cover a variety of topics to raise the quality of literacy instruction in our community. These workshops aim to present research-based, practical tools and strategies for program administration and the classroom.
Professional development course topics are based on feedback from LCCT's monthly instructor meet-ups and quarterly Provider Advisory Councils. We welcome suggestions of additional topics, critical feedback, and collaboration in workshop development.
