Rx 4 Math I is specifically intended for students in grades K-5 who would benefit from early intervention or whose basic math skills are below expected standards as determined by a local educational agency.  \nRx 4 Math I will build and strengthen number sense\, math fluency\, math vocabulary\, and problem solving strategies within three 30-minute or two 45-minute weekly small group sessions. Students who need to master basic number sense skills as well as those who rely on procedural understanding without a conceptual understanding would benefit the most from this program. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Students will be challenged to apply their growing understanding of number sense to novel problem solving activities that challenge thinking and reasoning. Hands-on\, research-based\, number sense activities will be utilized as the core content in this dynamic intervention while mediation\, Socratic questioning\, and the strengthening of cognitive functions will serve as the core methodology. In this dynamic intervention\, students’ foundational math concepts will be strengthened while their thinking and problem solving skills will be challenged\, all within an atmosphere where math anxiety is reduced and thinking is maximized. \nThis workshop has two parts: \nAsychronous Learning Activities (approx. 8 hours pre-workshop): includes watching PPT lectures\, completing a knowledge assessment\, reading research/journal articles and reviewing online resources. \nSynchronous Virtual Classroom Instruction (8 hours Zoom online): includes lectures and demonstrations with other participants. \n \n \n \n \n \n Dates & Times\n \n \n \n \n \n Asynchronous:Can be started as soon as you register for the course. \nSynchronous:May 29\, 2026 | 7:00 – 8:30 PM EST\, andMay 30\, 2026 | 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM EST \n \n \n \n \n \n Location\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\nThis course will be offered entirely online\, through Zoom.

We all use these executive function skills to help us learn\, work\, and manage the tasks that face us each day! \nResearch studies suggest that well-developed executive function skills are actually more predictive of academic success than measures of intelligence.

We all use these executive function skills to help us learn\, work\, and manage the tasks that face us each day! \nResearch studies suggest that well-developed executive function skills are actually more predictive of academic success than measures of intelligence. Thankfully these cognitive skills can be spurred to development with instruction and repeated practice. \nThis training workshop will increase your understanding of executive function skills and provide you with practical ways to promote and coach their development. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Date & Time\n \n \n \n \n \n Saturday\, October 18\, 8:30 AM – 4:00 PM EST \n \n \n \n \n \n Location\n \n \n \n \n \n This course will be offered entirely online\, through Zoom. \nSince it is online\, it is very important for you to have a laptop or desktop computer (PC or MAC) with camera\, audio and microphone capability as well as a reliable internet connection. \n \n \n \n \n \n Cost\n \n \n \n \n \n $375.00 \n \n \n \n \n \n Materials\n \n \n \n \n \n These are the required texts to purchase and read in advance of the course: \n\n\nCoaching Students With Executive Skills Challenges\nExecutive Function Skills in Your Classroom\nRECOMMENDED for older students: Promoting Executive Function in the Classroom\nRECOMMENDED for younger students: Mind in the Making\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Registration Deadline\n \n \n \n \n \n October 8\, 2025 URL:https://nildcanada.org/event/executive-function-workshop-oct-2025/ CATEGORIES:Executive Function Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://nildcanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/0031.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20251004T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20251004T140000 DTSTAMP:20250923T141146Z CREATED:20250625T155159Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250923T141146Z UID:10000189-1759572000-1759586400@nildcanada.org SUMMARY:Spelling: Linking Reading and Writing | ONLINE DESCRIPTION:Spelling abilities link to both reading and writing. Spelling is one of the most sensitive indicators of a learning disability and can be one of the most challenging abilities for students with dyslexia to develop. \nAs educators and parents\, we can feel at a loss when we don’t see a meaningful change in our students’ spelling abilities and test scores. Thankfully\, there are ways to explicitly guide students through Structured Word Inquiry and spelling investigation to develop their skills. Sound boxes\, word sums\, lexical matrices\, and etymology activities are key tools to help students make sense of spelling. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n This training workshop will enhance your ability to develop students’ concepts of spelling\, understand spelling misconceptions\, evaluate students’ writing samples\, and use a multi-modal structured literacy approach to building students’ spelling skills.  \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Date & Time\n \n \n \n \n \n Saturday\, October 4\, 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM EST \n \n \n \n \n \n Location\n \n \n \n \n \n This course will be offered entirely online\, through Zoom. \nSince it is online\, it is very important for you to have a laptop or desktop computer (PC or MAC) with camera\, audio and microphone capability as well as a reliable internet connection. \n \n \n \n \n \n Cost\n \n \n \n \n \n $250.00 \n \n \n \n \n \n Materials\n \n \n \n \n \n There are no required texts for this workshop. \n \n \n \n \n \n Registration Deadline\n \n \n \n \n \n September 28\, 2025 URL:https://nildcanada.org/event/spelling-linking-reading-and-writing-oct-2025/ CATEGORIES:Spelling Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://nildcanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/2493.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20250924T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20250924T210000 DTSTAMP:20250708T151840Z CREATED:20250708T151839Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250708T151840Z UID:10000191-1758744000-1758747600@nildcanada.org SUMMARY:Level I Information Session DESCRIPTION:How is NILD Educational Therapy® different from tutoring?
