Literacy

Ingham ISD’s literacy consultant/coaches provide professional learning for our preK-12 educators and administrators using Michigan K-12 Standards for English Language Arts and evidence-based practices found in the Literacy Essentials. We provide professional development services in the area of literacy for teachers, administrators and support staff from the early phases of literacy acquisition through adolescent literacy, including the most effective ways to teach readers and writers.

Improving student achievement, teacher competencies and the implementation of a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) are the goals of Ingham Intermediate School District. We will assist local districts and teachers in achieving these goals with professional development in the 3 Tiers of Intervention, literacy instruction, data analysis, core program implementation, intervention selection and implementation.
