Breaking News in Education: Updated Definition of Dyslexia!
Dyslexia is a specific learning disability characterized by difficulties in word reading and/or spelling that involve accuracy, speed, or both and vary depending on the orthography. These difficulties occur along a continuum of severity and persist even with instruction that is effective for the individual’s peers.
The causes of dyslexia are complex and involve combinations of genetic, neurobiological, and environmental influences that interact throughout development. Underlying difficulties with phonological and morphological processing are common but not universal, and early oral language weaknesses often foreshadow literacy challenges. Secondary consequences include reading comprehension problems and reduced reading and writing experience that can impede growth in language, knowledge, written expression, and overall academic achievement. Psychological well-being and employment opportunities also may be affected. Although identification and targeted instruction are important at any age, language and literacy support before and during the early years of education is particularly effective.
We’re a small school doing big things.
Our student to teacher is 7:1, but we understand that a great classroom means more than just a small size.
“How do you cover the curriculum while letting students lead?” 🧐
It is the #1 question I get asked as an IB educator. The answer? The Inquiry Cycle. 🌀
It is more than just a classroom decoration. It is the framework that shifts the heavy lifting from the teacher to the learner. By trusting the cycle, we move beyond memorization and start building:
✅ Critical thinkers
✅ Independent researchers
✅ Life-long learners
As educators, our job isn’t to be the sole source of information, but the architects of the experience. When we trust the cycle, we empower the next generation of thinkers. 🧠💡

While research defines what works in literacy, the true driver for change is building teacher capacity.
Our very own Dr. Jenni looks forward to sharing research at the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC) Conference today on how Professional Learning (PL) communities improved teaching practices and outcomes for students with dyslexia.
