The TCESC is actively continuing its efforts in structured literacy. On September 27th, Megan Gierka, representing the AIM Institute of Learning and Research, in partnership with the TCESC, initiated a year-long program to collaborate with elementary school leadership. This workshop is thoughtfully designed for elementary educational leaders deeply committed to improving their schools' language and literacy instruction practices.
Participants in this program will draw upon their expertise in reading science to craft a comprehensive literacy plan that focuses on enhancing students' literacy achievements. This plan will be centered around evidence-based diagnostic and prescriptive literacy instruction and intervention strategies. The program's agenda covers essential topics, including establishing data-driven teacher teams, implementing MTSS protocols, and utilizing practical classroom observation tools.
Gierka expressed her appreciation for the collaboration and determination our Trumbull County district leaders demonstrated. She emphasized, "I firmly believe that involving leadership is pivotal; there can be no significant student achievement without talented leadership," as stated by Megan Gierka, Senior Content Developer and Facilitator at the AIM Institute for Learning & Research.
