This professional development session on Handwriting Without Tears is designed specifically for elementary special education resource and centralized teachers, with a focus on building a strong foundation for effective handwriting instruction. Participants will explore the core principles of the program, emphasizing early skill development, readiness, and differentiation to meet diverse learning needs. The training will provide an overview of the first two student books, including how to introduce and support foundational print concepts through Intro to Print. Educators will also gain hands-on experience with key strategies and tools that make the program successful, such as the use of wood pieces and letters, chalkboards, and intentional vocabulary to support student understanding. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with practical, research-based strategies to confidently implement handwriting instruction that supports a wide range of learners in resource and centralized classroom settings.
