Description: In these sessions, the Regional Educational Laboratory Southeast (REL SE) will share a series of literacy self-study guides that are based on rigorous research. These REL SE developed tools can be used by state-, district-, and school-level practitioners as well as university faculty to support implementation of K-12 literacy interventions. Additionally, REL SE staff will facilitate break-out sessions where grade band specific school/district teams work through the self-study guides that will inform the development of their literacy plans for the 2019/20 school year.

Audience: The audience will include birth through age 5 and grade K-12 educators, district and school administrators, curriculum coordinators, literacy coaches and instructional leaders.
