Show Notes

"Students leaving our system, prepared for the world in which they will live and be citizens, is largely based on being literate - being able to read and meet the demands of whatever the future holds for them." - Jennifer Luzenske, Director of Curriculum and Instruction 

From the building blocks of reading and writing, to the integration of content and discipline, literacy is at the heart of learning. In this episode of Toddcast², Superintendent Dr. Todd White visits with Director of Curriculum and Instruction Jennifer Luzenske about the structured literacy approach here at Blue Valley Schools. Topics include everything from literacy fluency and comprehension for students, specialized training for staff, and even the addition of a Dyslexia Coordinator to make sure we are addressing the needs of all students.
