Lessons from Lancaster School District

from Leading Literacy · host Leslie & Mara

Welcome to Leading Literacy! In this episode, we are thrilled to have a conversation with three incredible leaders from the Lancaster School District in Lancaster, California. We partnered with Lancaster for three years on the $5 million dollar California State Literacy Development (CLSD) Grant. We worked with four school sites who made the switch from balanced to structured literacy. This district had every reason to give up and they did not! If you're looking for change and inspiration to bring structured literacy to your district, this episode is a must-listen. Learn the ins and outs of this work and be inspired by their story of triumph over adversity in reading instruction!
