Professional Learning & Training
Build the Knowledge and Practice That Help More Students Succeed.
BEI provides professional learning, coaching, demonstration, and consultation to help educators and schools strengthen evidence-based literacy instruction and implementation.
We understand. There is hope. There is help.
Professional Learning for Educators
Strong instruction reaches far beyond one student.
BEI's professional-learning work helps schools and educators deepen knowledge of evidence-based literacy instruction and translate that knowledge into classroom practice.
Training
Build shared knowledge around structured literacy, dyslexia, and Science of Reading practices.
Demonstration & Observation
Connect professional learning to what instruction actually looks like with students.
Coaching & Collaboration
Support educators as they apply new practices, reflect on implementation, and refine instruction.
From Workshop to Implementation
Professional learning should change what happens with students.
Recent BEI work at Mother Catherine Academy included training eight teachers through classroom demonstrations, individual coaching, professional learning community meetings, and observation sessions.
The program concluded with a detailed debrief to school personnel and administration focused on Science of Reading evidence-based instructional practices and school implementation intended to improve reading proficiency over time.
A partnership model
Professional Standards
BEI also invests in the people who provide specialized instruction.
BEI has maintained a longstanding relationship with the Atlantic Seaboard Dyslexia Education Center (ASDEC), which provides therapist-level training and certification for BEI tutors. Recent summer programming also created hands-on training opportunities for new tutors working toward Certified Academic Language Therapist credentials.
A Boundless Moment
Eight teachers. Months of training. A school building its own capacity.
BEI's Mother Catherine Academy partnership moved beyond a one-day workshop. Teachers received demonstrations, coaching, PLC time, observations, and a final implementation debrief—an example of professional learning designed to live in classrooms after the training ends.

BEI has described professional learning and consultation for educators, schools, parent groups, and community organizations. Current offerings can be tailored to the audience and need.
Can BEI provide ongoing coaching?
Recent work has included individual coaching, classroom demonstrations, PLC meetings, and observation sessions, not only stand-alone workshops.
Can a school request a customized topic?
Yes, the professional-learning page should invite a planning conversation so BEI can determine whether the requested topic fits current expertise and capacity.
