WILSON READING FOR 11-12
Our past model for new teachers of Wilson Reading has been to:
1. Attend a three day Wilson Reading overview training
2. Teach the program for 2-3 weeks
3. Travel to Elmbrook School District to attend a Wilson Reading overview and ask questions
We will have to change our model this year since our initial training was held in September:
1. We had 10 staff attend an initial Wilson Reading overview training in September
2. New staff will teach Wilson Reading for 2-3 weeks
3. New staff are encouraged to contact a Wilson Reading Level I Certified Teacher to (1) observe them teach a lesson, (2) have them observe you teach a lesson, and/or (3) schedule a time to meet with them to ask questions or for recommendations, etc. Work with a Level I teacher for their availability and Principal for scheduling time to do so.
4. New staff also have access to the online Wilson Academy. This username and password was sent to you in an email when you registered for the training.
Wilson Reading Level I Certified Teachers are:
*Joyce Woletz - Reading Specialist/Reading Teacher at MAES
*Kris Brandner - Special Education Teacher at SES
*Kathy Schumacher - Special Education Teacher at MAES
*Misty Galli - Special Education Teacher at MAES
*Ann Jochimsen - Speech Language Pathologist at MAES and MASH
Karen Dallas - Title I teacher at SES
Shari Gajewski - Special Education Teacher at MASH
Mary Fliehs - Title I Teacher at MAES
Oralee Dittrich - Former Special Education Teacher at MASH
Peggy Czerniak - Kindergarten Teacher at SES
Kim Fechhelm - Title I Teacher at MAES
11 Wilson Reading teachers completed a year long Level I practicum that consisted of 5 formal observations by certified Wilson Trainer, completion of online course, and passing of a 120 point fidelity checklist. * 5 teachers are completing two practicums (Step 7-12 and Group) and an online class for their Level II Certification.
When taught to fidelity it has been proven time and time again with students that they can learn to read from their teacher and this program.
WILSON JUST WORDS
1. We have several teachers who are teaching Just Words for the first time in 11-12: Shari Gajewski, Jill Chasteen, Carol Wieman, Judy Mader, and Joyce Woletz.
We have one licensed teacher in the district who has been teaching it for over a year - that is Cindy Gibson at our Alternative High School. She would be a good resource if you have questions.
