The Comprehensive Literacy Partnership at Lesley University is a new approach for training teachers to lead professional development and literacy coaching in your school. What makes this partnership unique is that our team works with you to design a customized and flexible course of study based on the strengths and learning goals of your training candidate and to suit your school’s staffing and professional learning needs. We will work with you to design and map out a unique plan for training your school-based literacy specialist to build capacity for site based professional learning for your teachers.
The goal is to provide a quick start for lasting change with science-aligned literacy instruction.
Join us on either Tuesday, June 4th at 1:00 p.m. for a complimentary awareness session to learn more. All attendees will be entered in a raffle for a professional text.
