Are you ready to turn your Literacy Coaches and Reading Specialists Grant program funding into lasting student success?
Join us for a candid, practical webinar designed specifically for recipients of California's Literacy Coaching and Reading Specialist (LCRS) grant. This session bypasses the theory and takes you straight into the field, highlighting real California schools that have effectively leveraged their grant to measurably raise student achievement.
We will kick off with a brief, high-level overview of key grant details, timelines, and resources to help ensure you are maximizing your funding. From there, the conversation shifts to the heart of the session: an interactive panel discussion with a literacy coach and a principal from two different sites that received the LCRS grant in previous cohorts.
What You’ll Take Away:
Proven Implementation Models: Real-world approaches used by previous cohorts to successfully structure their grant-funded literacy initiatives.
High-Impact Strategies: The specific coaching and reading intervention approaches that yielded the highest return on investment.
Obstacles Overcome: Insightful reflections on the roadblocks early cohorts faced—and the exact workarounds they used to keep momentum alive.
Data-Driven Growth: A closer look at the tangible literacy gains and student data resulting from these strategic implementations.
Who Should Attend?
Whether you are just getting started on developing your literacy plans, or have completed your first year with the grant, this is an opportunity to learn from peers who've been in your shoes. Come ready to listen, reflect, and walk away with practical ideas you can apply at your own site.
