Consulting & Training

Professional Programs That Elevate Literacy Instruction and Transform ClassroomsAt dePaul, we believe literacy is a human right, and every child deserves instruction that meets their learning needs. 

We believe literacy is not just a subject; it’s a human right. Our Consulting & Training division exists to ensure every educator, school leader, and learning community can develop the expertise to teach how students learn best, not just how schools traditionally teach.

Partnering with dePaul

When you partner with dePaul Consulting & Training, you’re not just gaining a service. You’re joining a movement to ensure that every student has access to instruction that fits how they learn, and every teacher has the tools and confidence to deliver it.

 

Why Specialist Training Matters

  • Research shows that many teachers feel underprepared to support students with dyslexia and other language‑based learning differences.
     

  • Evidence‑based instruction in structured literacy (such as that built on the Orton‑Gillingham approach) has been shown to successfully accelerate reading and writing outcomes - not only for students with dyslexia, but for all learners. 
     

  • Effective professional development is not a one‑time event, but sustained, coached, and integrated into the culture of a school or district.

 

The Training Services We Offer

  • Teacher Workshops
    Short‑term, high‑impact sessions that deepen knowledge of dyslexia, structured literacy, and high‑leverage strategies.
     

  • School & District Consulting
    From literacy audits and MTSS alignment to coaching and leadership support, we partner with schools ready to change systems, not just classrooms.
     

  • Curriculum Review & Development
    We help align instruction, materials, and interventions with best practices in structured literacy so that students stop falling behind and start moving forward.

 

Experience the dePaul difference

  • Our team brings decades of experience working specifically with students with dyslexia—not as an add‑on, but as the foundation of our approach.
     

  • We model what effective, evidence-based instruction looks like, and partner with schools to build the systems, coaching structures, and shared practices to scale that instruction sustainably.
     

  • While our primary focus is dyslexia and language‑based learning differences, the strategies and systems we teach benefit every student because stronger literacy instruction lifts all learners.
