Please take time to read the four key characteristics of the dyslexic brain that are critical for educators to understand by clicking on the link above.

As we look at the development of the CHUMS project the Central Christian education majors are aware of the vital importance of foundations, emerging literacy and advanced literacy methods classes and Ed. Psyche/How the Brain Works as a critical part of their academic success as a future mentor and teacher. 

Our program requires rigorous application and engagement of each student knowledge of a child's reading ability and what an instructor needs to understand to provide the literacy instruction each child deserves. 

In conclusion, our education majors apply what is taught in the college classroom and learn best when having the opportunity to observe and be directly involved in area schools.  The students journal extensively about their experience in the classroom and what they learn from the professionals.

Thanks to all administrators,  professionals and partnership schools that provide modeling and mentoring to our future teachers.
