In the three-day workshop, led by Mona Iyer, teachers will learn how to conduct K-Reading Kickstart and K-Math Kickstart classes using the diagnostic and prescriptive methods designed to teach student foundational reading and numeracy skills.
Workshop participants will be prepared to implement Kickstart lessons immediately following the three-day session using Kickstart re-producible masters, lesson plans and information on required teaching materials. Teachers will master the diagnostic and prescriptive approach through ongoing coaching available through a six-month practicum from ASDEC master teachers.

K-Reading Kickstart & K-Math Kickstart
Training for Individuals
​
Parents, tutors, Academic Language Therapists, and other educators can implement K-Reading Kickstart & K-Math Kickstart in a one-to-one setting.
​
The Individual Training Program consists of two main components:
The first component is a virtual instruction session. In this session a trained instructor will discuss the methodologies and procedures for conducting productive one-on-one teaching sessions with students. This component will typically consist of three virtual sessions conducted over approximately three weeks, each session lasting for about 1 hour.
​
The second component of the program will consist of six practicum sessions of one hour each lead by a trained instructor. During the practicum session, the instructor will critically examine a videotaped version of a teaching session conducted by the trainee and use it as a means to point out corrections/enhancements to the teaching methods of the trainee to ensure higher fidelity and fine tuning of the teaching skills. This will be conducted every other month. Before the practicum sessions each trainee will provide a videotape of their teaching session with their K-Reading Kickstart student.
