Part 1 | Leveraging Leadership to Accelerate Literacy Growth as a Team: Writing Across Disciplines

Wednesday, June 17 @ 11 AM CST

What we know from decades of research, and from working directly with districts that have moved the needle, is that writing improves when it becomes a system. Not a program. Not a unit. A shared, coherent approach that spans classrooms, grade levels, and content areas.

During this webinar, we'll show you exactly what that system looks like and how to build it without asking more of already-stretched teachers.

You'll walk away with:

  • A clear framework for embedding writing across content areas without overloading teachers.

  • The research behind why writing accelerates comprehension gains and why it's consistently underused.

  • A concrete starting point for assessing where your district sits right now.

Part 2 | Creating Coherence with Aligned Interventions and Schedules

Wednesday, July 15th @ 11 AM EST

Coherent intervention isn't primarily a scheduling question; it's a coordination question. The schedule is just where the work gets made visible.

In this webinar, we'll walk through what it looks like to build an intervention model that holds together across every setting a student moves through.

You'll walk away with:

  • A framework for identifying exactly where your current schedule is creating instructional disconnects.

  • Practical models for coordinating classroom and intervention instruction around shared goals.

  • A common language approach that supports students regardless of which room they're in

Part 3 | Using Writing Evidence to Drive School-Wide Growth

Wednesday, August 19th @ 11 AM CST

Learn simple, high-impact strategies to align your staff around shared literacy goals using the data you already have. We’ll discuss how to create structures for shared planning, use common strategies across classrooms, and build a culture where every educator—regardless of subject—is part of the literacy conversation.

You'll walk away with: A protocol for using writing samples as the anchor of collaborative team meetings. A model for translating writing data into shared instructional priorities across grade levels. Real examples from schools that have built this practice and sustained it.
