Reading Difficulties, Disabilities, and Dyslexia

Follow-up Activity for


DISTRICT INSERVICE POINTS

In addition to reviewing all of the course content and passing the Check Your Knowledge
activities and final assessment; completion of a follow-up activity is required for participants
who want to earn district in-service points.

In-service points can only be awarded by a Florida school district or organization with an
approved Professional Learning Catalog. If you are NOT currently employed by a Florida school
district/organization with an approved Professional Learning Catalog, contact your local Florida
school district/organization to inquire if they are willing to review your follow-up activity and
submit your in-service points. FDLRS can NOT verify your follow-up activity.

1. To demonstrate successful completion of the follow-up activity, you must complete ONE
of the following options:
• Option 1: Professional Learning Community with other Educators
• Option 2: Professional Learning Community with other Literacy Leaders
• Option 3: Presentation
• Option 4: Case Study
2. Once you have completed the follow-up activity, submit the option you chose, your
completed Your Complete the Teacher Toolkits and the Tying it All Together Critical
Tasks, and the Verification Form to your supervisor to sign, acknowledging they have
reviewed your follow-up activity.
3. Once the verification form has been signed by your supervisor, return to the course on
the BEESS Portal site. Select “Verify follow-up activity” and upload your signed
verification form.
4. You can then access the satisfaction survey. Once you have completed the satisfaction
survey, you will be able to view/download your Certificate of Completion.

Your local Florida Diagnostic and Learning Resources System - Professional Learning Alternatives
(FDLRS-PLA) coordinator will submit a quarterly report of completers in their service region to
the appropriate school district/organization.

Reading Difficulties, Disabilities, and Dyslexia

Option 1: Professional Learning Community with other Educators

Instructions
1. If there are a team of educators at your school or neighboring school also working in this
course, you may choose to form a Professional Learning Community (PLC) to complete
this required follow-up activity. It can be completed during a grade level or team
meeting, during faculty meetings, or with individuals during common planning time or
after school hours.
2. After the online portion of the course is complete, appoint a facilitator to guide the
group session(s).
3. Determine a schedule. At each session, an agenda should be distributed and a sign in
sheet should be collected. The agenda and attendance documents will be presented,
along with written reflections, to a supervisor who will verify completion of this activity.
The verification form signed by the supervisor will be uploaded into the system to access
the course Certificate of Completion.
4. Each participant should select a student they teach who has a reading deficiency and
gather assessment data (screening, diagnostic, progress monitoring and outcome data)
to analyze as well as information about the intervention(s) that the student is receiving
and student work samples. If available, gather charts or spreadsheets that display
student data over time to help determine if students are making appropriate growth as a
result of receiving intervention. The data will become part of the meeting minutes.

Directions for PLC


• Discuss the topic of the course (i.e., dyslexia and reading disabilities) with colleagues who
have worked together and have a common understanding of how the MTSS system
works in their school/district.
• Analyze assessment data with colleagues for at least one student per participant and
focus the conversation on identifying a specific reading profile for each student identified
with a reading difficulty.
• Evaluate assessment data with colleagues using the problem-solving approach and
determine which evidence-based interventions are needed to target identified
weaknesses in reading skills.
• Analyze progress monitoring data to determine if the intervention is meeting the
student’s needs.
• Discuss the elements and principles of Structured Literacy with colleagues and determine
if these criteria are addressed in evidence-based interventions offered in your school.
• Discuss some of the assistive technology tools and UDL resources that were suggested to
make instruction more accessible to students and ways to implement or utilize these in
your classroom.

BEESS Portal to Professional Learning Alternatives [Link]


Reading Difficulties, Disabilities, and Dyslexia

The PLC should use the following guidance to drive their conversations, reflections and problem
solving. Individuals will record their reflections and present to their supervisor for review as
verification of completion of the activity.

Unit 1: Overview of Reading Disabilities and Dyslexia


• Students with reading disabilities, including dyslexia, may have difficulty with a variety of
skills. Discuss the three different reader profiles and describe what is unique to each
profile. Then, share with the other members of the study group what you believe your
student’s profile is and why.
• If you have a student that you have worked with who is dyslexic or exhibited
characteristics of dyslexia, please describe that student and their characteristics. Share
examples of the student’s work to provide evidence of those characteristics.
• Explain what you learned from the course module about dyslexia that is different than
what you knew before. Share with your study group the dyslexia infographic you created
and discuss how you can share that resource with parents, teachers and students.

Unit 2: Data-based Planning and Problem-solving


• As a group, discuss your school’s MTSS framework and how it works on behalf of
students with reading difficulties.
• What assessments are used for each of the four types of reading assessments covered in
unit 2? How can this assessment data be used in the problem-solving approach to
determine which students need interventions and what interventions they need? Share
the four types of assessment data you brought on your target students and explain to the
group what you can learn about your student’s reading ability (strengths and
weaknesses).
• Review the progress monitoring data and charts for each of your students. How does the
team know if the student is meeting their learning goals (progress monitoring
benchmarks or IEP)? What process exists for reviewing student progress monitoring data,
and what happens when students don’t meet their goals?

Unit 3: Evidence-based Instruction


• What evidence-based interventions (EBI) are utilized at your school? Is your target
student receiving an evidence-based intervention? Based on the data you shared earlier
with your study group, what suggestions would you make for the type of evidence-based
intervention your target student should receive and why?
• What do you do if the EBI is not meeting the needs of your student? How do you know
what to change? Who makes the decision? What type of reaction to the intervention
does the progress monitoring data show for your target student? Does the data show
that your target student is matched to the correct intervention?

BEESS Portal to Professional Learning Alternatives [Link]


Reading Difficulties, Disabilities, and Dyslexia

Unit 4: Multisensory Instruction and Structured Literacy


• There is no one perfect program that meets the needs of all students. Instead, programs
include specific elements of language and principles of instruction that are integrated
into a cohesive instructional approach called Structured Literacy. Describe those
elements and principles of Structured Literacy and tell why they are important for
students with reading disabilities.
• Discuss your findings from the task that was included in the toolkit for unit four. Were
each of the six elements of a Structured Literacy program addressed in the available
interventions you reviewed? If not, what gaps exist in the interventions available to
students in your school or district?

Unit 5: Supporting Students in Mastering Grade Level Standards


• Most students who have reading difficulties benefit from technology supports that make
learning more accessible and in some cases, engaging. What type of supports would
benefit your target student? How can you ensure that students in your class or school
have access to technology supports?
• Share with your study group the UDL resource you chose to implement as part of the
task included in the toolkit in unit five. What barriers to learning did that resource help to
remove? Which area did you select under the third UDL Principle, “provide multiple
means of engagement,” that you would like to improve in? Share the steps you have
taken to improve in this area and the next steps that are needed.
