2027 Coaching and Literacy Leadership Retreat

The Coaching and Literacy Leadership Retreat is a time of “rejuvenation” for educators… a time to relax, rethink, recharge and rebuild…. a chance to learn the best practices that can be implemented immediately.  The Literacy Retreat utilizes leaders in the field to go deep into literacy topics of interest and ways to create a more equitable classroom.  In our current day and age, sustaining an equitable environment for students requires more than expanding a classroom library.  During this period in education, we as educators must find new ways to build literacy and cultural responsive practices to build better readers and writers.   Today’s literacy educators must find ways to be more inclusive with the structure that governs their shared spaces. 

​

  • Walk away with a clearer understanding of today’s literacy standards and strategies to achieve those requirements in the classroom

  • Gain a plethora of tools and new instructional strategies for literacy achievement

  • Reflect on your current practices of language and literacy instruction

  • Social Emotional Learning/Self-Care

  • Understanding and Unpacking Standards to Close Gaps

  • Culturally Responsive Teaching

  • Build an understanding of culturally and linguistically responsive teaching practices

  • Pioneer equitable instructional practices in language and literacy instruction to lead shifts in your classroom and/or school settings​

2027 Theme

Clarity, Courage & Coaching: Leadership That Transforms Literacy

Every literacy leader needs three things to create meaningful change: clarity to see the path forward, courage to make bold instructional decisions, and coaching that empowers educators to succeed.

The 2027 retreat is designed to help leaders:

  • Gain Clarity about what truly drives literacy achievement and how to align literacy priorities with the school or district vision.

  • Lead With Courage by addressing instructional challenges, making evidence-based decisions, and creating a culture focused on literacy success.

  • Strengthen Coaching by developing the skills needed to support teachers, improve instruction, and transform classrooms.

Together, these pillars help leaders return to their schools with a renewed vision, actionable strategies, stronger leadership skills, and a clear plan for moving literacy forward.
