Included are six modules (one per day) that cover safe, hands-on physical interventions appropriate for crisis situations in the educational setting, preventative information, and skill development performance, feedback, and assessment.

LETRS Training Series

LETRS® is professional development for educators who are responsible for improving K-12 instruction in reading, writing, and spelling. The content of LETRS is delivered in a system of 12 core modules in book format. Each module in the series focuses on one topic, with the topics aligned to be delivered in sequential training. Thus, one book for use in the course of training--and later as a professional reference--is provided for each module. Each module is typically delivered in a one to two-day presentation by a national, regional, or local district trainer who has met the LETRS trainer certification guidelines developed by Dr. Louisa Moats and her colleagues. Jeanie Hertzler is the certified regional LETRS trainer for ARIN IU 28. More >
