Literacy Leadership Cohort
in collaboration with
Literacy Leadership Cohort
The Literacy Leadership Cohort will provide a space for leaders of all types to unpack the Science of Reading research, discuss what it means for us in the GST region, and explore strategies for moving literacy improvement efforts forward. Participants will engage in discussions around the research, the NYS ELA learning standards, the NYSED Literacy Briefs, and review the application of all the pieces in authentic action.
