The goal of PAF’s professional development is to ensure effective instruction by teachers and successful reading outcomes for students. To this end, comprehensive teacher training and ongoing support can be tailored to the needs of individual schools and districts and can be delivered onsite or through synchronous platforms. Courses for K-5 teachers are taught by Master Teachers with years of experience teaching PAF in public and independent schools.

Professional Development is offered to Districts, Schools, and Individual Teachers, and consists of two parts: a course (12 hours) and ongoing support (8 hours) during the school year.

The PAF Course (12 hours) will cover:
An overview of research-based multisensory techniques for teaching reading, spelling, and handwriting
Components of a PAF lesson at various levels in the sequence
Planning a PAF lesson
Instructional practices for developing accuracy, fluency, and comprehension
Administering and analyzing PAF’s curriculum-based assessments

Ongoing Support (8 hours) will include:
Coaching teachers based on shared videos of lessons
Feedback sessions
Lesson planning
Placement of students in instructional groups
Pacing of instruction
