These one-hour virtual think tank sessions will provide literacy interventionists with a collaborative space to reflect on current practices, troubleshoot common challenges, and strengthen instructional decision-making.
Each session will begin with a brief, focused learning segment on literacy intervention best practices, highlighting the characteristics of high-quality, science-aligned intervention support. The majority of the time is devoted to problem-solving around real-world challenges related to interventions, decision rules, scheduling, personalized reading plans, and other intervention-related topics.
Participants engage in facilitated peer dialogue, leveraging collective expertise to share experiences and examine problems of practice. Sessions also include a networking component, giving interventionists the opportunity to connect with colleagues across districts, share strategies, and build a professional learning network aimed at improving literacy outcomes through effective intervention practices.
OBJECTIVES
- Receive practical strategies for supporting literacy interventions
- Participate in collaborative problem-solving around intervention challenges
