Abstract Description : The University of Florida Lastinger Center for Learning's Flamingo Literacy Professional Learning Hub offers a robust suite of professional learning options for educators, available in asynchronous and synchronous online formats. These offerings empower instructional personnel from birth through grade 12 to: (1) identify literacy difficulties and implement appropriate interventions; (2) apply evidence-based practices effectively; and (3) utilize progress monitoring and intervention tools. This session will showcase how the Lastinger Center has integrated key research from the science of reading and effective instruction into language and literacy development, creating professional learning experiences that meet the needs of adult learners.
