Registration is required to attend the live edWebinar.

Between stagnating student achievement and the imperative to support and retain effective teachers, district leaders are more concerned than ever about identifying curricular literacy resources that are accessible, research proven, and impactful for all students. That’s where the Science of Reading comes in.

Constantly seeking to balance the needs of students and educators alike, district administrators are uniquely positioned to cultivate learning ecosystems where Science-of-Reading-based instruction can flourish. This edWebinar with education experts seeks to break down the “why” and the “how” of Science-of-Reading-based instruction for leaders at the district level. Discussion topics will include:

• Designing curricula aligned to Science-of-Reading-based training teachers receive
• Creating an ecosystem of educators—principals, coaches, interventionists—with a shared vision of literacy instruction based on the Science of Reading
• Hiring teachers from prep programs committed to the Science of Reading and providing professional development opportunities grounded in evidence-based, research-backed literacy instruction

This edWebinar will be of interest to PreK-12 district leaders, school leaders, education technology leaders, teachers, and librarians. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
