Building Leadership Capacity for Adolescent Literacy in Georgia
Strong adolescent literacy systems depend on leaders who understand the conditions needed for effective instruction. Georgia will share how the Department of Education is developing an Adolescent Literacy Playbook for school and system leaders in grades 4 and above. Created through collaboration between the Offices of Teaching and Learning and Whole Child Supports, with assistance from the Southeast Region 5 Comprehensive Center, the playbook will provide guidance, tools, and a foundation for future professional learning. The development process is also strengthening cross-office collaboration, shared language around literacy and MTSS, and the state’s understanding of evidence-based practice. Participants will learn how Georgia is using a practical leadership resource to expand SEA capacity and support LEAs and schools.
