Student Achievement Partners Foundational Skills Mini-Course
Tennessee Facilitator Guide Scope and Sequence
Learn how phonological awareness and phonics connect to early reading by engaging in this 7 Module, Mini-Course.
https://achievethecore.org/category/1205/understand-foundational-skills
These modules are meant to be viewed and explored in order, beginning with Module 1 and ending with Module 7.
For an optimal professional learning experience, an in-person approach, led by a facilitator, is best. If in person is not an option, then a synchronous virtual learning experience, led by a facilitator, is recommended. Ideally, teachers, coaches, administrators, and supervisors should engage in the sessions together. The run time of the videos varies; however, extra time should be planned for exploration and discussion of the content.
Throughout the Tennessee Facilitator Guides, there are Facilitator Look Fors. These are designed to help identify strengths and opportunities within each cohort.
Please see the accompanying Tennessee Facilitator Guides to help prepare to lead each learning experience.
