This project is super special to my heart as it is about celebrating the hard work the students in my school (K-5) have put into learning and growing throughout the school year. Who would not want to attend a "wonky" party influenced by none other than Willy Wonka!

I LOVE how this graphic points out that students with disability should/can receive services at ALL levels, not just in tier 3 or by the tier 3 specialist.

The 1st teachers participating in Idaho SMART have graduated! Idaho SMART is a 2-year PD offered by the SDE that trains K-3 educators to provide instruction rooted in the science of reading. Teacher training is a large part of Idaho's path forward in early literacy!
