St. Andrew's Learning Services Team Presents at Academic Support and Dyslexia Conferences
St. Andrew's outstanding Learning Services team recently had the opportunity to present at two conferences this past month. Upper School Learning Facilitator Hollie Marjanovic, Writing Lab Coordinator Jennifer Gunn, and Math Lab Coordinator Cathy Davis presented at the SAIS Academic Support conference in Nashville, TN about our model of Student Staffed Math and Writing Labs in Middle and Upper Schools. Director of Learning Services Ashley Runnels, Middle School Learning Facilitator Kari East, Lower School Reading Specialist Lenither Williams, and Lower School Learning Facilitator Caroline Barr also conducted a dyslexia simulation at the Southeastern Dyslexia Summit in Biloxi. The simulation was a hands-on activity that let participants experience some of the challenges and frustrations faced by people with language-based learning differences.
