20 September

Time: 3:30 pm - 4:45 pm

Location: Council

Speaker: Dr. KaiLonnie Dunsmore Tonya Harrison

The session is designed as a practical overview of research findings as well as insights from the MEMSPA-MAISA-MDE sponsored Literacy Leader Network. Schools often have multiple initiatives and goals to juggle so we will examine key actions and tools leaders can use to build the internal clarity and coherence and identify the most critical things you can do now to set the stage for improvements this year (in one year). We will look at several cases to illustrate the tools and actions you can put into place to improve organizational, instructional and leadership capacity and achieve measurable gains in K-3 teaching and learning.
