Description

This interactive learning session brings educators and leaders together to explore what rigorous, research-aligned literacy instruction looks like in today’s K–12 classrooms. Together, we will experience a close reading lesson from the inside out: defining the practice, engaging with a compelling authentic text, and analyzing real K–12 curricular examples from Imagine Learning core literacy solutions. Through discussion, reflection, and collaboration, participants will surface actionable insights they can immediately connect to their own teachers, schools, and district priorities.
