Designing Your Comprehensive Literacy Plan: A Framework and Self-Assessment for LEAs - Training Series

Description: This learning opportunity is designed for LEAs starting or developing a comprehensive literacy plan (CLP). The training helps districts understand literacy improvement purposes and effectively use Steps to Success Guidance materials to create K-12 literacy plans based on Comprehensive Literacy Needs Assessment results. This framework provides administrators and teachers with guidance on integrating literacy instruction with state standards and evidence-based practices for long-term student success. Enrollment requires commitment to four trainings: two in-person and two virtual sessions over the school year. We request district leadership and literacy leaders attend (minimum two per district). This partnership agreement and commitment consists of: -scheduling and participating in the initial training on Frontline through your RPDC (a half day training) and using the contact information provided during the training to arrange additional support as needed. -committing to meeting with and communicating with your local literacy team on a scheduled basis to have the collaborative conversations needed to complete the Comprehensive Literacy Needs Assessment in order to advance the CLP progress. -accepting and scheduling RPDC check-in support (see virtual dates and times already provided in the Frontline information) as the literacy team works through the CLNA to develop a CLP to communicate progress and troubleshoot issues. RPDC facilitators will host 4 meetings (two in-person, two virtual) and participants must attend the initial meeting and at least two other meetings. These may be regional or local. -communicating to local stakeholders the outcome and goals of the CLP and the next steps. We recommend that LEAs send at least two representatives from their district from either their literacy team, building leadership, or administration.
