Professional Learning Series
The Southport CoLAB offers a variety of opportunities for educators, parents, and community members to engage in professional development, lectures, and workshops. Check back often for updates.
The faculty at the Southport School (TSS) is trained in the best research and evidence-based approaches to help our LD/ADHD students achieve success, but the reality is that not every student who needs a TSS education can attend. To extend our reach and help as many students as possible, we provide ongoing teacher training and professional development support.
Led by Southport School teachers and collaborators, we currently offer a variety of specialized training programs including Structured Literacy, Executive Function, and Assistive Technology. Parents, teachers, and administrators are invited to learn more about how we can work together as a community to impact the nearly 1 in 5 students with learning and attention issues, including the 1 in 10 with dyslexia, in our schools.
If you have questions, or if you are a school administrator looking for training for a group, please contact the CoLAB by email at Info@SouthportCoLAB.org or by phone at 203.254.2044.
Thank you for your interest.

I love how REAL you are in what you write. You have realistic expectations for teachers AND kids, and are understanding when things don't always go as planned...I have felt comfortable working with you throughout this whole process, without feeling intimidated. Thank you for that!
