About the Chartwell Teaching Institute
Chartwell Teaching Institute, CTI, offers professional development courses to educators who want to expand their knowledge base and incorporate evidence based practices in their classroom. At the heart of the institute is our week-long International Dyslexia Association (IDA) Accredited Structured Literacy Course. This workshop is based in the Science of Reading and offered at both the elementary and secondary levels for general education and special education teachers.
We lead additional workshops that focus on supporting students in specific areas of learning, such as executive functioning, assistive technology, and social emotional academic development. Courses offer a deeper understanding of learning differences and practices to support all learners in the classroom.
The development of a ground-breaking research partnership between Chartwell and the renowned UCSF Dyslexia Center offers participants access to the latest brain research that informs and guides classroom instruction.
My student looked at me and asked, Why have I never been taught to read this way before?
Instruction at our institute models the methods that attendees will learn to use in the classrooms. It is systematic, diagnostic, explicit, prescriptive, and cumulative with the goal of achieving mastery. Our courses are relationship based, interactive, and individualized. On going teacher support and coaching is offered following the course.
