Join fellow administrators supporting systemic changes in literacy practices in this series designed for
administrators that would like to implement the science of reading in their buildings and districts. Although the
webinars are primarily intended for K-5 administrators, connections will also be made to preschool and
adolescent literacy. Since literacy development begins at birth, it is important to acknowledge the role of
preschools in building a strong foundation in emergent literacy. All sessions will be aligned with Ohio's Plan to
Raise Literacy Achievement.
Multiple studies have proven that reading achievement can be increased so that 95% of students are reading
at grade level or higher. Achieving this goal involves systemic changes (curriculum, assessment, leadership,
teaming, scheduling, MTSS, etc.) and the use of evidence-based practices aligned with the body of research
commonly referred to as the science of reading. Each session in this series will have a pre-determined topic
related to the science of reading and systemic components of literacy instruction. Participants will have
opportunities ask questions specific to their buildings and districts. These questions and problem-solving
opportunities will be critical for application of the research.
Series Facilitators: Dr. David Brobeck, Program Director for Graduate Education at Walsh University and Michelle Elia, Ohio Literacy Lead
