Leading for Literacy
Target Audience: K-8 School Leaders and Instructional CoachesWisconsin’s reading gap between student groups (Black v. White, SwD v. SwoD) has made national headlines for being one of the largest in the nation. Having solid reading and writing skills is at the heart of student achievement and therefore must be part of the solution to achieving equity in Wisconsin. To achieve equity, every student in our schools must receive the high-quality curriculum and evidence-based instruction they need and deserve. Evidence-based instruction, provided within schools and classrooms that are culturally responsive and sustaining, is necessary for all our students to thrive. Unfortunately, some of this message has been drowned out by the “Reading Wars.” In Literacy for All, we will engage you in a deep analysis of your current reading practices and data, while increasing your understanding of the reading ‘theories”, and best evidence-based instructional practices so that you are equipped to thoughtfully address literacy practices in your school.
