Professional Development

Extensive research supports that the most important factor contributing to a student’s success in school is the quality of the teacher and the amount of research and knowledge they possess about the subjects they teach.

The Robinowitz Education Center is nationally recognized for its expertise. The RIISE series of professional learning modules has been recognized by the New Jersey Department of Education (RAPID modules)! Our workshops are proven to provide educators, administrators, and parents with current research about language, literacy, assessment, executive function, and math for students who have learning differences. Through in-person and remote training, participants learn about the current educational research and how to translate that into evidence-based instruction. 

We work directly with public and private schools to develop instructional expertise that is individualized to their needs.

ACT On It: Data-Based Decision Making

Once you have adopted a Universal Screener, how do you leverage the results to make meaningful changes in your students' literacy skills? For too many educators, the data is collected, but not acted upon. It is important to understand the "why" of each measure in a screener, "how" to use each benchmark to set goals for students identified as 'at risk,' and "what" the intervention should look like.

Wilson Reading System® (WRS®)

Based on more than three decades of data, WRS® is designed for students in grades 2–12 and adults with word-level deficits who are not making sufficient progress through their current intervention. This Tier 3 Structured Literacy program is based on phonological-coding research and Orton-Gillingham principles. The center offers the WRS Introductory course, the Level One Practicum, the Advanced Strategies for Group Instruction course, and the Level Two practicum. Interested? Email smiller@thenewgrange.org
