About the Advisory Group

PA 98-0705 requires the State Board of Education, subject to appropriation or the availability of private donations, to establish an advisory group to develop a training module or training modules to provide education and professional development to teachers, school administrators, and other educational professional regarding multi-sensory, systematic, and sequential instruction in reading.

While no funding was appropriated for this advisory group, the Board has decided to convene a group of stakeholders to discuss this important topic and evaluate existing training modules. For more information regarding the activities of this group visit ISBE's Understanding Dyslexia page.
