The Texas Education Agency mandates that all certification-seeking students receive training related to dyslexia and state guidelines for the assessment, identification, and instruction of dyslexia.  HBU Education students will complete this training online through Blackboard.   The training modules are available to you on Blackboard.  

The HBU Dyslexia Training consists of 4 learning modules (see Learning Modules on the Course Menu):

• 
  Chapter 1: Definitions & Characteristics of Dyslexia


• 
  Chapter 2: Procedures for Assessing Students for Dyslexia


• 
  Chapter 3: Referral to Special Education


• 
  Chapter 4: Instruction for Students with Dyslexia



 
•  

Each learning module contains an introduction with objectives,  PPT/PDF lecture files, learning resources (activities, web links, and videos), and a quiz.  The quizzes contain 10-20 questions, and you may take the quizzes multiple times.

Requirements for Completion

1) You must score at least 80% on all quizzes.  When you have completed all 4 modules with at least 80% on the quizzes, a Blackboard assignment (Submission for Certificate) will be released to you.  There will be a link in the Chapter 4 module and on the Course Menu.

2) You must submit the Blackboard assignment to notify the College of Education & Behavioral Sciences that you have completed the training. At which time, you will receive a certificate of completion.  You must upload the certificate of completion to Taskstream prior to the completion of EDSP 4302 or during the specified transition point. 

Instructions: The student will respond to each variable on this self-report scale by placing an X by the rating that best describes his/her behavior in the course that he/she is currently enrolled. The ratings are 3 = Target, 2 = Acceptable, and 1 = Unacceptable. The total number of points that may be earned range from 7-21. Points from 18-21 indicate that the student’s performance is On Target. Points from 14-18 indicate that overall performance is Acceptable. Points from 10-14 indicate that Improvement is Encouraged. Points at 9 or below indicate Unacceptable performance. Your professor will review your responses and agree or disagree with the findings. If your professor determines that you have Unacceptable performance in any area, it is your responsibility to provide evidence that you have Acceptable or Target performance. You will arrange to meet with the instructor during the instructor’s office hours or an agreed upon time within 1 week if total points are below 14 or there is any rating of “1.”
