PINE STATE
LEARNING

For Schools and Districts

PSL works with districts around Maine on both sides of the intervention: designing it, or delivering it. In person in Brunswick and Greater Portland, and online statewide.

School Consultation
Consultation on intervention design, progress monitoring, and structured literacy practice for your own staff. Structured literacy means reading taught in a systematic, explicit, cumulative sequence.
Direct Service Provider
PSL delivers specially designed instruction to your students directly, in person or online, as part of an IEP or district intervention plan. Progress is measured with standardized assessments and reported on your schedule.
Professional Development
Training for teachers and ed techs in structured literacy and math intervention, support for tier II and tier III curriculum decisions, and district-wide implementation planning. Tiers II and III are the school terms for small-group and individual intervention beyond regular classroom instruction.

Our Commitment to Equity

We are committed to working against the way that racial and socioeconomic privilege manifests itself in the identification and remediation of learning disabilities.

We do what we can by offering need based scholarships, doing pro-bono consultation for families with economic needs, providing services in some of Maine's lowest resource schools, and working with educational advocates on the toughest cases to help ALL students get what they need.
