Strategic Instruction Model Potential Professional Developer's Institute provides 5 days of workshops on becoming a certified trainer for the Strategic Instruction Model Content Enhancement Routines or Learning Strategies.
The Institute is followed by a one year apprenticeship. On completion of those requirements the individual is eligible to become a certified SIM Professional Developer.
The Learning Strategies Institute will prepare experienced SIM educators to train other educators to implement Learning Strategies with low-achieving adolescents (including adolescents with learning disabilities). Instruction in the use of specific learning strategies will not be offered during this week; the focus will be on instructing and coaching others to ensure effective implementation.
Only participants who have been notified that their PPDI application has been approved should register.
