The CALI Reads SPDG has developed several E-learning modules to support professional learning around adolescent literacy instruction. During this session, our team will briefly share excerpts of the E-learning modules and describe where to access these free and easy-to-use resources. Along the way, we will highlight insights and lessons learned from the design and implementation.
