Structured Literacy: Creating a Culture of Collaboration
(DeJunne’ Clark Jackson)
This session will allow participants to explore ways to Equip students with the literacy skills necessary to be successful learners through the use of evidence-based reading instructional practices; Empower parents and families with the knowledge essential to become well-informed participants in the decision-making process; and Provide educators with the appropriate tools and information critical to effectively teach and reach students. Hearing and assembling the experiences of each of these stakeholders is critical to building a collaborative and inclusive education culture. Each stakeholder plays a vital role in the discovery, identification, and intervention stages of literacy development. When a student struggles, the collective can come together to find solutions, working toward the common and agreed-upon goal – student success!
