Trisha Clerk
I received extensive training from the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education (IMSE) and Neuhaus Education Center (Bellaire, TX) in Reading Readiness, Basic Language Skills (Advanced), Developing Metacognitive Skills, Written Composition, Multisensory Grammar, and Scientific Spelling. Additionally, I completed Region IV in Reading by Design modules. To assist students whose first language isn't English, I studied Words of our World (WOW) and WELLS 2 programs, which are transition to English programs to provide a systematic and explicit approach for teaching English language and literacy skills to Spanish-speaking English language learners.
