Last Friday, teachers, literacy coaches, and curriculum directors gathered at Pioneer RESA for an incredible training session on Sound Walls: Building Better Readers.
This training provided a systematic and engaging approach to teaching the crucial connection between phonemes (sounds) and graphemes (written letters). We dove deep into how sounds are formed in the mouth and how this relates to written language, equipping educators with powerful new tools.
It was a fantastic day of learning, all with one goal in mind: to build confident, literate learners! We can't wait to see the impact this training has on students across our schools. #SoundWalls #LiteracyTraining #BuildingBetterReaders #PioneerRESA #Education #Literacy

This isn't your average professional development course. The Teacher/Provider Retention Program (TPRP) is designed to equip educators with the tools they need to thrive and stay in the profession. The program offers intensive professional learning and personalized coaching, but the real game-changer is the opportunity to practice new skills in a cutting-edge, mixed-reality simulation classroom. TPRP is a powerful investment in the future of education, and it's all happening right now at Pioneer RESA thanks to our very own Lara Butler!
