School change is hard…but it can be done! Join us as we talk about what it takes to transform a school’s culture of practice to be more aligned with the scientific evidence base on reading, and why it’s worth the effort. Dr. Heidi Beverine-Curry of The Reading League will share how a single school or entire district can transition successfully to teaching reading based on science, and how that transition can dramatically improve overall literacy and student outcomes.

Join us as we discuss:

  • What it takes to transform a school toward alignment with the scientific evidence base on reading
  • Common obstacles and tips for overcoming them
  • Examples of what is possible from The Reading League’s real-life work with schools
