Among these distinguished schools, 19 hailed from the state of Ohio. The selection for this prestigious honor was primarily grounded in each school's outstanding academic performance and their remarkable strides in narrowing the achievement gaps among diverse student subgroups as evidenced by assessments.

While many schools made plans last year to deliver the 18-hour mandated dyslexia training through ODE, circumstances have left a few teachers from being able to participate in the training. In these virtual sessions, ESCWR staff will hold enrichment sessions and facilitation to support teachers’ 18-hour training. If you are interested in scheduling this virtual support for your district please contact Dr. Beth Walsh-Moorman and Dr. Kelly Moran at [email protected] and [email protected].
