Over the past four years the Region 11 DCD Community of Practice has been studying two instructional methods, the Four Block Literacy Model and the Nurtured Heart Approach. Four Block is based on the National Reading Panel report and is an evidence based practice for teaching reading to children. This approach has been shown to increase the literacy skills of children with emerging skills at all ranges of ability. The Nurtured Heart Approach is a best practice approach to proactive behavior management, character education and creating a positive classroom culture. DCD 101 is being offered to provide new members of the Community of Practice an opportunity to become familiar with both methods as we continue to develop our knowledge and skills in the coming school year.

Cancellation: You can cancel your own registration for an event before the cancellation deadline. (Please check the event information for specific cancellation details.) If the event has a fee, refunds are possible only if cancellation is prior to the deadline. If you do not attend and do not cancel prior to an event, you are still responsible for payment and will be billed.

Special Accommodations: Please alert BrightWorks 2-3 weeks prior to the workshop/event if you need special accommodations, including sign language interpreters. (BrightWorks requires a notice of 2 business days to cancel a sign language interpreter. If you fail to cancel, we reserve the right to bill your school/district for this expense.) Update your profile as needed. Special accommodations are not included with each registration, but are stored in your profile until you make changes.
