“The Top 10 Tools course was AMAZING. It was absolutely the best training I have ever received. It was intensive, comprehensive, and demanding but the payoff in my learning and being able to readily apply what I was learning was worth every minute of it. . . .  It has helped me restructure grade-level interventions, develop connected lessons, actually use the data rather than just gather it, and use many different ways to engage students in the learning process. But the absolute best part of this course is the impact it has had on student learning. My scores are soaring as a result of implementing the concepts, research, and practices presented throughout the course. It is hard to explain, but I no longer feel as if something is missing in my teaching. 

 

Thank you for providing quality learning opportunities."

Micro-Credentials

Earning a micro-credential assures that teachers have
demonstrated a high level of competency in discrete
educational skills. 

​

Why obtain a micro-credential?

In the world of education and seeking advanced degrees, we may find ourselves locked in a program that may or may not provide us the information we were seeking to improve our skills and knowledge. Micro-credentials are an alternative to advanced degrees and provide us with a way to take professional development of our choice that can be compiled into stackable blocks of knowledge in a particular topic. Micro-credentials demonstrate your continuing professional development, dedication and desire for improving your practice and knowledge through personalized learning.

 

The Reading Teacher’s Top 10 Tools is approved by Credentials Unlimited for a micro-credential. This course meets the following competencies for Structured Literacy Instruction:

  • Understand/apply in practice the general principles and practices of structured language and literacy teaching, including explicit, systematic, cumulative, teacher-directed instruction.

  • Know and apply in practice considerations for the general and specific goals of phonemic-awareness instruction.

  • Understand rationale to identify, pronounce, classify, and compare all the consonant phonemes and all the vowel phonemes of the English language. 

  • Know/apply in practice considerations for organizing word recognition and spelling lessons by following a structured phonics lesson plan.

  • Know/apply in practice considerations for systematically teaching the decoding of multisyllabic words.
