Through my educational journey, I have always held teachers to a higher standard we are shaping the future. Through our standards, we are maintaining a commitment to our students and colleagues.

· Having standards help me as a teacher stay in line and make sure that I am following the rules.

· We must commit to our profession through our actions and how we conduct our relationships with students.

· Through the law, we gain our students, parents, colleagues, members of the community respect through our ethical conduct.

Admin. Code §247.2 018) is connected to teachers because we are legally bound to not be telling others about the status of our students. So, for example, when other parents ask about the students' ability in the classroom, we cannot let them know they are in dyslexia or that they have reading difficulties.

This process is to meet the needs of all students; if students continue to struggle and then show deficits on their screeners, we will then request a dyslexia evaluation. The evaluation will include the teacher, parent/guardian, the dyslexia teacher, and an administrator (Brady,2021).

Students with dyslexia have greater social and emotional intelligence. These students have stronger emotional responses, which is associated with more excellent connectivity in the brain's network. Lots of families view reading difficulties as a negative thing, but these students have many strengths that the students have as well (Preidt, 2020).

The intervention showed immediate improvement in phonological processing and reading accuracy in the dyslexia group. However, the benefits on the phonological processions showed more in the individuals with poor reading skills. Through this study, they are now looking for ways to help the oscillatory function in very young children (PLOS, 2020).

It was a great article discussing making sure that teachers are qualified to work with students with dyslexia. Schools have dyslexia teachers on campus, but all educators need to be qualified and prepared to work with students. This article discussed ways that parents can ensure that their students' teachers are meeting their needs.

Educators need to understand how to help identify and support students with dyslexia daily. There is no fix for a student with dyslexia so teachers need to be equipped to help students with dyslexia be successful in all academic areas.
2)· Students should receive targeted skill-based instruction.

· Students should receive daily explicit and systematic phonics instruction.

· Incorporate teaching strategies for dyslexia such as step-by-step instructions, verbal and visual information, and having consistent daily routines.
3)An emerging issue is that many teachers have not been trained adequately in structured literacy or explicit phonics instruction. Many teachers do not come out of college prepared to identify students with difficulties in reading. Also, they have not been trained on explicit instruction to use when students do have reading difficulties. As the dyslexia teacher, I have to ensure that teachers understand that some students just have reading difficulties that can be fixed with intervention they are not always dyslexic.

I chose this topic because in the past ten years of me being an educator there has been an increase in the number of students that are being serviced under the dyslexia umbrella. As a current first grade teacher it is important for all teachers in the elementary setting to understand the characteristics to look for in students with dyslexia. Also they need to understand best practices to be able to help these students be successful in their education.
