Advancing Evidence-Aligned Literacy Preparation Through Partnership, Leadership, Collaboration, and Inquiry
Join us for the inaugural Keys to Literacy Higher Education Summit, a half-day virtual event designed for higher education faculty and educator preparation leaders. This summit brings together voices from across the field to explore how institutions can strengthen literacy programming through evidence-aligned practices, strategic partnerships, and shared leadership.
The day opens with a keynote from Joan Sedita, founder of Keys to Literacy, examining national and state-level trends shaping educator preparation programs today. Participants will then engage in a featured Literacy Leadership session with Pati Montgomery focused on preparing future instructional coaches, principals, and district leaders to build effective literacy and MTSS systems. The summit closes with a panel of higher education leaders and professors sharing perspectives, resources, and strategies for advancing literacy in educator preparation.
Who Should Attend: Higher education faculty, educator preparation program leaders, and instructional leaders looking to strengthen literacy programming and explore partnership opportunities.
