Day 1: How to Reach ALL Students Through Instructional Leadership

In this interactive session, leaders will explore the essential elements of instructional leadership that directly impact student achievement. Drawing from It's Possible! A Leadership Plan for Implementing Quality Reading Instruction and Ensuring Literacy for All by Pati Montgomery and Angie Hanlin, participants will examine how to build and sustain a school culture where "All means ALL."

Leaders will learn how to: 

• Promote a shared vision of success for every learner.
• Implement coaching and support systems that strengthen Tier 1 Universal Instruction.
• Foster a growth mindset among staff and students.
• Lead literacy initiatives that align with research-based practices.

This day will blend vision-setting with practical leadership moves, equipping participants to inspire their teams and create the conditions for highly effective instruction in every classroom.

Day 2: Developing a Schoolwide Plan to Promote Literacy for All Students

Building on Day 1's leadership foundation, this session focuses on designing and implementing a sustainable, schoolwide literacy plan. Leaders will explore the systems, structures, and instructional practices that ensure strong Tier 1 Universal Instruction for all students, including English Learners and struggling readers. 

Topics will include:

• Implementing Universal Instruction aligned with John Hattie's research.
• Using Data-Based Decision-Making to inform and adjust instruction.
• Establishing collaborative processes for continuous improvement.
• Monitoring and supporting effective literacy practices across grade levels.

By the end of this session, participants will leave with a clear, actionable literacy leadership plan and tools for ensuring that no student is left behind--turning the vision of It's Possible!  into a daily reality in their schools.
