I3 Science of Reading Field Guide Table of Contents
I3 is committed to designing and providing Culturally Validating Pedagogy and Leadership professional development for Fresno Unified School District stakeholders, including district leadership, principals, teachers, paraprofessional staff, and instructional coaches. These unique trainings will increase understanding of individual, institutional, and structural oppression and how all levels of discrimination contribute to educational disparities and early literacy obtainment of each student.
I3 pedagogical practices support the Science of Reading which emphasizes evidence-based practices that have been proven to help students succeed. It moves away from outdated, inconsistent approaches and focuses on methodologies that address the needs of each student, including those with diverse needs and cultural backgrounds. This includes pedagogical practices supporting comprehension, vocabulary, fluency, phonics, phonemic awareness, and writing.
