November 4: Right to Read Virtual Forum
The Right to Read legislation establishes state-level oversight of implementation through School District Audits, inclusion of implementing evidence-based literacy instruction as a component of their three-year plans, and mandatory data reporting collected by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). In order to be a long-term success in each LEA, these implementation plans will require the state to offer thoughtful coordination, financial support, and significant opportunities for professional development. This conversation will cover how a comprehensive reading plan should look, how districts and DESE can partner effectively, and which professional development opportunities for educators have been most valuable across the country. Featuring:
Mary Tamer, Founder & Executive Director, MassPotential, Moderator
Dr. Melissa Hickey, CT State Dept of Ed Reading Center Director
Darci Burns - Hill for Literacy
Kimmy Tremlett, MA Manager, Policy and Programs, Teach Plus
Jillian Geraghty, Literacy Instruction Facilitator & Teach Plus Senior Policy Fellow
