Discover how three Pennsylvania school districts are transforming reading outcomes for students who need it most. Join us as we share stories of implementation at three of our schools that are participating in our State Personnel Development Grant, Success for PA Early Learners (SPEL). We will highlight how leaders and educators from New Brighton, Bensalem, and Central Dauphin School Districts are implementing Enhanced Core Reading Instruction (ECRI) to better support at-risk students and students with disabilities. In this informative session, you will hear real-world insights into what it takes to implement ECRI successfully—from thoughtful system-wide planning to using data to guide instructional decisions. Presenters will also highlight how aligning supports across instructional tiers can strengthen outcomes for all learners.
