Connect-The Power of Integrating Literacy Initiatives and School Improvement
Tuesday June 10, 2025 11:15am - 12:15pm MDT
Timber
Introduction

Literacy success isn’t just about great instructional strategies—it’s about embedding those strategies within a cohesive and sustainable school improvement structure. In this interactive session, school and district leaders will explore how to integrate literacy initiatives into their broader improvement efforts, ensuring alignment with existing priorities, resources, and systems. We’ll discuss strategies for programmatic integration, including leveraging Title I and other federal funds (or their next iterations) to provide ongoing support for literacy work. Leaders will discuss practical tools to assess their current structures, identify opportunities for alignment, and leave with concrete next steps to sustain literacy improvements beyond WYBILT. Principals, superintendents, and other district leaders should attend this session and should expect to leave with tools to make literacy a lasting part of their schools’ success.

Session Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
  1. Evaluate how literacy initiatives can be embedded within broader school and district improvement structures for long-term sustainability.
  2. Identify opportunities to align literacy priorities with existing goals, funding streams (e.g., Title I and other federal programs), and system-level supports.
  3. Apply practical tools to assess current systems, determine areas for better integration, and plan next steps to sustain and scale literacy improvement efforts beyond WYBILT.
