Schools will be supported utilizing the Literacy Matters Creating District
and School Literacy Plans to build common
understandings about what really matters in increasing engaged reading
and writing in all classrooms. This tool is available on our website and
professional development will be offered
virtually. This planning document is divided into three sections.
Section I–Creating District and School Literacy Plans
Section II–Literacy Matters Needs Assessment and Implementation Rubric
Section III–District and School Literacy Objectives and Actions
A series of virtual professional learning sessions will be offered that utilize the Literacy
Matters: Creating District and School Literacy Plans planning
tool to guide districts and schools through the process of developing,
implementing, and sustaining a literacy plan to raise student
achievement in reading and writing.
Sessions will focus on establishing literacy leader data teams and a
process for collecting and analyzing data. Districts and schools will be
guided through making structural and instructional changes necessary
for effective literacy instruction by utilizing
the Literacy Matters Needs Assessment and Implementation Rubric.
A well-developed literacy plan should produce an elevated culture of
literacy in the district, schools, and community. High student
achievement occurs when students are provided significant time devoted
to actual reading and writing and high-quality instruction based on the
changing needs of students. Information regarding the series will be
emailed to districts when available.
