Literacy Leadership
Literacy Leadership serves to support the development of district and regional capacity related to the transition to the NYS Next Generation ELA/Literacy Standards. The group meets several time a year to engage in professional conversations to develop a culture of literacy and collaboration using a variety of protocols and procedures, acquire literacy/ELA information from SED, and network with other school districts literacy leaders.
2019-20 Network Meetings:
In this three part series we will focus on two critical questions:
- How does ensuring a clear understanding of curriculum, instruction, and assessment drive learning for all students?
- How do leaders best support teachers engaged in this work?
While we continue to build capacity towards the integration of Next Generation Learning Standards, we will work to build a deeper understanding of literacy research and it’s implications for instruction. Our goal is to provide the resources necessary to improve instruction, align with the Next Generation Learning Standards, and improve the literacy achievement for all students in our region.
