Leadership for Literacy
Session Description
Now that you have ideas and insights percolating from the rich input and discussions at the Symposium so far, come join us to dig into how to implement these in your contexts. If you are a teacher, site leader, or systems leader and want to understand where you are in the process of implementing structured literacy, what the key next steps are, and are ready to start planning for those next steps to bring back with you--come join us! We have tools and resources as well as thought partnership and consult available for each stakeholder group. Let's roll up our sleeves together and 'get after it!'.
