The K-5 Literacy Improvement Pathways will provide an opportunity for district administration to ensure they have strong systems in place. As a result, these systems will support teachers as they implement their new learning and ultimately improve student outcomes. Participants will explore, discuss, collaborate, and examine evidence-based practices and related resources to assist with leading literacy in a school or district. Why literacy? Literacy is the lever to overall improved achievement. The Literacy Pathways are not “one more initiative.” They are all about school improvement.

Recommended Audience: Superintendents, Curriculum Directors, Principals, Asst. Principals, Special Education Directors, School Psychologists

*This series is intended for district leaders at the building and central office levels. Join this series as a team to build strong systems together.
