Recognizing Expertise

At the dePaul School, our use of evidence-based approaches to reading and learning in the classroom has rightfully earned us the reputation as the local experts in the field of dyslexic education. Now, there is a way to formally recognize that our teachers have the knowledge and skills to teach individuals with dyslexia to read.

Their purpose is to help the world properly understand and support dyslexia. Working with experts, psychologists and successful dyslexics, they have developed innovative and thoughtful campaigns, films, tools and tests to explain dyslexic thinking.

Always Learning, Always Growing

The dePaul School values professional development for our teachers and staff. Staying informed on recent research in the field of dyslexia and related learning disabilities and being aware of new curriculum and technology options for our students is a high priority in our school. November provides many opportunities for us to do just that. dePaul will have attendees at the Florida Council of Independent Schools Conference (FCIS), the International Dyslexia Association (IDA) International Conference and the edTech Teacher Summit in Boston -  all this month!
