Why Choose the Neuhaus Approach for Professional Development

With literacy as the cornerstone of lifelong learning, Neuhaus Education Center equips teachers to be diagnostic and prescriptive in recognizing student literacy needs by understanding the research behind the science of reading and implementation of structured literacy practices, and how best to utilize the resources their district makes available to them.  

When reading intervention is required to get a student back on track, Neuhaus Education Center provides teachers with knowledge about why students are struggling and how to reach them, providing multiple professional development courses that describe what foundational reading skills should be taught in reading instruction and why they should be taught. In addition, our accompanying curriculum and materials are a model for how the science of reading research could be applied in the classroom. Our curriculum is and should be supplemental to any core, basal reading program used in the general education classroom, and is also appropriate and applicable to serve as the sole resource in intervention group settings. 

In addition to teacher-focused training, Neuhaus Education Center works with school leadership and districts to design measurable literacy strategies for self-sustaining success. Our research-based resources are tailored to a school system’s needs for strengthening its inventory of learning tools, adding valuable knowledge for achieving literacy goals across each grade level. 

It is our intentional investment in reading success that ensures Alfabetización para Todos.
