Dear ESCWR Staff and Schools,


Welcome back to the Educational Service Center of the Western Reserve (ESCWR) for the 2023-2024 school year! I want to express my deep appreciation for your hard work and unwavering dedication to the students, families, and schools you support.

I genuinely value and appreciate the tremendous contributions you make to students, families, schools, and the community as a whole.


Our commitment to enhancing the work of our school districts with professional support remains unwavering. In the coming weeks, I eagerly anticipate visiting classrooms and spending time in our programs and schools. I am confident that by working together, we can make this the best school year ever. Once again, I extend my heartfelt thanks for your commitment to your students.


Best Always,

Dyslexia Training Facilitation Catch Up

While many schools made plans last year to deliver the 18-hour mandated dyslexia training through ODE, circumstances have left a few teachers from being able to participate in the training. In these virtual sessions, ESCWR staff will hold enrichment sessions and facilitation to support teachers’ 18-hour training. If you are interested in scheduling this virtual support for your district please contact Dr. Beth Walsh-Moorman and Dr. Kelly Moran at [email protected] and [email protected].

The approach involved the allocation of resources for supplementary training and the deployment of literacy coaches to support multiple districts within their region. View the complete article here.
