The MDE Office of Special Education is pleased to announce that the Phonics First courses are being offered through the RESA sign-up process, and the courses are now posted on their website. The courses will continue to be virtual with 30 days to complete the coursework, except for the Level II course which will livestream for 5 consecutive days. Course seating is limited, and registration closes prior to the course start date. Teachers should read course descriptions carefully to ensure that they will be able to meet the rigorous demands of completing the coursework.
You may access the course selections and sign up by going to the RESA website. If you have any questions about the process or courses available, you may contact Teresa Laney at tlaney@mdek12.org.
