K–5 participants will use both ELA and math lessons during the week; participants in grades 6–12 will use lessons in their preferred subject area — either ELA or math.

Note: Participants are invited to work with lessons from their own curriculum. If they do not have access to lessons, ELA and math lessons will be provided for participants to practice with.

Leadership for Literacy was developed by and for school and district leaders. This training introduces school and district leaders, including directors, principals, assistant principals, and site-based leadership teams, to the science of reading and how to create the systems to support the implementation of Structured Literacy. Upon completion of this training, school leaders take processes and tools back to their school sites to support the development of a 90-day action plan aimed at jump-starting the shifts necessary to implement Science-of-Reading-aligned literacy instruction.

This training can be a stand-alone professional learning opportunity or an introductory session to set the stage for school leaders to dig deeper into leading literacy through CORE’s Reading Fundamentals Leader Institute or executive coaching.
