Join us for a five-day, hands-on professional learning experience designed for educators to strengthen teaching practices in alignment with Michigan PA 146 requirements. Based on the work of Dr. Anita Archer, educators will be equipped with practical strategies to deliver clear, focused, and engaging lessons that maximize student learning.

Michigan's Public Act 146 of 2024 mandates that instruction must use a code emphasis approach and direct, explicit instruction rooted in the science of reading.

The Explicit Instruction Academy fulfills the requirements outlined in Section 7, bullet (e), of the PA 146 Professional Learning Assurances: (e) Evidence-based instructional methods and features of evidence-based interventions that are grounded in the science of reading and principles of structured literacy that are designed for pupils with characteristics of dyslexia and pupils at risk for difficulties in learning to decode accurately and efficiently.

Clear, specific Learning Goals
