Just Words® Virtual Implementation Support (VIS)

The Wilson® Virtual Implementation Support (VIS) for the Just Words program is a comprehensive web-based support that provides teachers with access to a virtual collaborative community where they can interact and learn from both colleagues and a Wilson Literacy Specialist to develop the knowledge and skills required for successful implementation of the Just Words program. The Virtual Implementation Support program, which spans one school year, is designed for intervention teachers in a Tier 2 setting in their initial year of Just Words implementation. (Just Words teachers looking to deepen their understanding of how to teach Just Words lessons efficiently would also benefit.)

The program includes live, interactive study sessions with a Literacy Specialist; on-demand learning sessions; curated content and links to resources on the Just Words Learning Community; opportunities to collaborate with colleagues via a monitored discussion board to share successes and brainstorm solutions.
