 STAR Services
The National STAR Training Network (NSTN) offers two training and technical
assistance packages that:
-
increase teachers' knowledge and use of evidence-based reading instruction
(EBRI); and
-
improve the capacity of adult education systems to support EBRI.
NSTN leverages the skills and knowledge of an expert team to deliver:
-
training institutes;
-
onsite technical assistance; and
-
online technical assistance.
Options
States can use their Adult Education and Family Literacy Act
leadership funds, or other funds for professional development, to
purchase these training packages.
-
STAR Training Package I - A training model that includes
training institutes and online learning.
-
STAR Training Package II - Package I plus site-based technical
assistance.
Options for Training Package II (PDF)
Each training package is based on the STAR Tool Kit, which translates reading
research into usable tips, techniques, and tools for assessing and teaching
essential reading skills. The Overview of STAR Institutes highlights the different skills and knowledge participants will acquire with each training. (PDF)
STAR participants will explore reading research, acquire new instructional
techniques, and learn how adult learners develop reading proficiency. They will
also practice what they have learned in a supportive and collegial setting.
