Dates: 9/23/2026

Weed Before You Seed: De-implementation as the First Step to Structured Literacy Implementation

In a time of reduced funding and significant shifts in education policy, school and district leaders are being asked to do more with less - and Pennsylvania's new Structured Literacy legislation adds both urgency and direction to that work. This session explores how leaders can leverage implementation science to strategically de-implement practices that are misaligned with the science of reading, while creating the enabling conditions needed to successfully transition to structured literacy approaches. As Pennsylvania moves to meet the mandates of the new legislation, systems and instructional practices must evolve together. Participants will examine how intentionally stopping or scaling back what isn't working creates space for evidence-based structured literacy practices to take hold, and will leave with practical tools and actions their teams can apply to support sustainable, equitable implementation within their local context.

Session Objectives:

* Define de-implementation and identify low-value practices within current literacy instruction

* Communicate the rationale for de-implementation to staff, families, and stakeholders

* Identify and plan strategies for stopping low-value practices and making room for structured literacy approaches

* Explain the enabling conditions necessary for successful implementation

* Identify and plan four key actions the leadership team can take to build a climate that supports effective, sustainable, and equitable structured literacy implementation across local contexts

Weed Before You Seed: De-implementation as the First Step to Structured Literacy Implementation

In a time of reduced funding and significant shifts in education policy, school and district leaders are being asked to do more with less - and Pennsylvania's new Structured Literacy legislation adds both urgency and direction to that work. This session explores how leaders can leverage implementation science to strategically de-implement practices that are misaligned with the science of reading, while creating the enabling conditions needed to successfully transition to structured literacy approaches. As Pennsylvania moves to meet the mandates of the new legislation, systems and instructional practices must evolve together. Participants will examine how intentionally stopping or scaling back what isn't working creates space for evidence-based structured literacy practices to take hold, and will leave with practical tools and actions their teams can apply to support sustainable, equitable implementation within their local context.

Session Objectives:

* Define de-implementation and identify low-value practices within current literacy instruction

* Communicate the rationale for de-implementation to staff, families, and stakeholders

* Identify and plan strategies for stopping low-value practices and making room for structured literacy approaches

* Explain the enabling conditions necessary for successful implementation

* Identify and plan four key actions the leadership team can take to build a climate that supports effective, sustainable, and equitable structured literacy implementation across local contexts
