Navigating the Road of International Dyslexia Association Accreditation as Teacher Educators and Literacy Researchers

• In Event: Saturday Roundtable 7:45 am
  In Roundtable Session: Exploring Literacies Through Self-Study (Table 11)

Abstract

This study examines two teacher educators’ journey navigating the International Dyslexia Association’s (IDA) accreditation process. Drawing from this experience, we reflect upon our understanding of how the reading process aligns and differs from the IDA vision. Examining our experience has shaped our Reading Literacy and Education program and our instructional practices. Data collection includes meeting calendar and notes, journal entries, course materials, accreditation materials, and IDA feedback.
