Building Leadership Capacity: Leveraging Data to Drive Literacy Improvements

How well do you as an administrator understand the impact of early literacy on long-term student success? Do you feel equipped with the right tools to lead data-driven conversations and align their teams on using and monitoring data to improve classroom instruction?

Early Grade 1 is a critical turning point for literacy, with nearly half of the foundational coding and language skills required for proficient reading taught at this stage. Research shows that 89% of students who read proficiently by the end of Grade 3 graduate high school on time. To achieve this, educators and administrators need a unified focus and clear strategies for literacy development.

Join this webinar to explore how district and principal leadership creates the alignment, accountability, and collaboration needed to drive impactful literacy changes. Explore the critical role that leaders have in using evidence and data to inform decisions, guide strategies, and measure progress.
