A proven, research-based system for early learning success!

Dear Patricia,

Do the teachers in your school know what the essential numeracy, language, literacy, behavior, and motor skills are for successful K-3 students? And, more importantly, do they know how to use instructional strategies that are based on monitoring these developmental skills?

Research shows that students with significant deficits in the development of these essential skills and behaviors by the end of the third grade are in danger of being unsuccessful learners for life! We can prevent that!

SDE's powerful new one-day training program, Early Learning Success Essential Skills Inventories (ESI), focuses on helping teachers structure their lessons on student learning outcomes rather than succumbing to the call for "more curriculum coverage."

The Essential Skills Inventories are a simple system of universal screening and progress monitoring for Grades K-3. Using ESI enables teachers to offer targeted, responsive instruction, give work at appropriate levels of difficulty, and monitor student progress toward proficiency. These developmentally appropriate learning experiences lead to greater student success and ultimately result in fewer special education referrals and placements.

In a single day, your teachers will explore how these essential K-3 skills address the developmental needs of the whole child. They’ll learn how to use the Inventories to see, at a glance, their students' strengths and weaknesses. And, they'll find out how to use these Inventories to differentiate their instruction as part of an effective RTI initiative.

Choose the proven path that will move 90-95% of your students toward proficiency on the Essential Skills for Grades K-3!
