Introduction:
Districts nationwide are adopting new HQIM to support literacy outcomes. However, many educators are still growing their content knowledge of the reading science that provides the rationale for these changes. This session provides a case-study of a district that sought to enhance teacher literacy content knowledge prior to the curriculum adoption process. This session unpacks the resulting structures, professional learning experiences, and growth in teacher knowledge, skills, and dispositions in order to support Wyoming leaders as they consider their own context.

Objectives:
1. Understand the context, organizational structures, and professional learning experiences that were designed to support outcomes in teachers literacy knowledge and instructional practice.
2. Articulate the lessons learned from building teachers content knowledge prior to an HQIM adoption, including what worked and what might be adapted for continuous improvement.
3. Apply this learning to their own context in order to determine teacher content knowledge and readiness for this work.
