What is Included in LETRS

LETRS is composed of two volumes of content: Volume 1 (Units 1-4) and Volume 2 (Units 5-8). See Learning Outcomes by Unit for Volume 1 and 2. Each unit is organized around four components that take deep, meaningful research and bridge that research into practice in the classroom: LETRS Online Learning Platform, LETRS Bridge to Practice, LETRS Participant Manual, and LETRS Unit Trainings (for customers who purchased professional learning sessions).

• LETRS Online Learning Platform — Each unit in the learning platform consists of sessions. Units 1-4 each have eight sessions, and Units 5-8 each have six sessions. To reinforce your understanding, you will complete activities throughout each session. Each online session ends with a Check for Understanding assessment.

• LETRS Bridge to Practice activities — Each online session has a Bridge to Practice activity, where you’ll be guided to transfer what you learned to your classroom.

• LETRS Participant Manual — The printed participant manual is a companion to the online content. You can reference the manual before, during, or after completing the online content and activities. (see images below).

• LETRS Unit Professional Learning Sessions (for customers who purchased Professional Learning Sessions) — The eight professional learning sessions align to the eight units of content in the learning platform and participant manual. Each professional learning session is a one-day, six-hour training led by a highly-qualified LETRS facilitator. During a professional learning session, you will have the opportunity to:

  • Review what you’ve learned so far.

  • Take a deeper dive into LETRS content and theoretical models.

  • Engage in interactive activities to practice what you’ve learned.

  • Ask questions about the content you’ve learned so far.
