LITERACY OPPORTUNITIES
Literacy Matters
As an organization, we believe...
-
All students are capable of becoming proficient readers with the right instruction.
-
Teaching reading must be structured. Instruction is explicit & systematic.
-
Teachers and their professional capacity are THE deciding factor in student success.
-
All students deserve access and opportunities to engage with grade-level standards.
Rooted in Local HQIR
Professional learning rooted in High Quality Instructional Resources (HQIR) ensures educators use evidence-based, standards-aligned materials that promote student achievement. Professional learning centered around HQIR provides a strong foundation for instructional practices, fostering consistency, equity, and effective teaching, which ultimately leads to improved student outcomes across diverse classrooms.
Experience-Based
Experience-based professional learning allows educators to engage hands-on with curriculum resources, fostering deeper understanding and application. Teachers can witness effective instructional strategies in action, enhancing their ability to implement these practices in their classrooms and ultimately improving student engagement and learning outcomes.
