How We Can Expand Access to the Science of Reading
Description:
While there is national debate and growing consensus about the importance of the science of reading, there’s much less known about how to bring it to life at scale. What is necessary for shifting teacher knowledge and practice in the human, complex, and sometimes messy district ecosystem?
Drawing from lessons learned in Baltimore, this session will define practical entry points for systems change and expanding access to literacy for all students.
