DLD president Paul Riccomini will present a three-session Webinar entitled The Arithmetic-to-Algebra Gap: Instructional and Intervention Recommendations in March of 2012. It's a CEC-DLD collaboration and members get a $25 discount (that's the cost of a year's membership). Meanwhile, don't miss DLD's own president-elect Janette Klingner's Webinar on teaching English Language Learners.  Register today!

DLD Student Representative Karen Fries is looking for good student research to be presented as posters during DLD's reception in Denver this coming April (2012). Undergrad and grad students should download a copy of the call for proposals and submit their work to her!

Members, please take note! To log into the member's only side of TeachingLD, you must authenticate with a TLD username and password and then your CEC credentials. This is a little tricky the first time, so please read our special directions.

There's a new entry in TeachingLD's Expert Connection feature. It's easy to miss with all the other newness around here! We are pleased to have Professor Sheri Berkeley of George Mason University answer a question about using self-questioning in reading. Check her answer. While you're there, take a few minutes (or a couple of hours!) to review some of the classic entries in the Expert Connection feature. You can find quick and practical advice about topics ranging from helping kids get organzied to using CBM and these features are written by a veritable who's who of people in LD including B. Billingsley, F. Brigham, C. Espin, D. Fuchs, L. Fuchs, J. Lindstrom, L. Mason, P. Pullen, K. Rooney, and J. Torgesen.
