Course # EDPD 624 Instructor: Cathy Carella-Dean GRAD THOUGH MANHATTAN COLLEGE OR IN-SERVICE The role of an educator has increasingly become more and more demanding.

We need to study alongside colleagues who share our vision, to wrestle with challenges, to celebrate progress, and to imagine what's possible.

This series of six Literacy Leadership workshops is designed for just that purpose. Across the 2025-2026 school year, literacy leaders from across Long Island will gather to build a shared vision for powerful, equitable reading, writing, and phonics instruction.

Led by The Reading & Writing Project at Mossflower, each session will blend big-picture thinking with the kinds of nitty-gritty practical tools that you can bring back to your schools right away. Together, we'll study research, analyze student work, rehearse coaching moves, and plan for meaningful professional learning experiences in your districts.

Most of all, this series will offer a community of thought partners-fellow leaders who believe, as you do, in the transformative power of literacy.

Drawing on decades of research in reading development and cognitive psychology, David Kilpatrick, PhD will explore how we can identify reading difficulties, interpret assessment data meaningfully, and design interventions that actually work-especially for struggling readers. Specifically, this session will focus on how children learn to read words and why some children struggle. Understanding what research has found about the nature of word-level reading development and word-level reading problems will guide assessment, instruction, and intervention.

Whether you're a classroom teacher, literacy coach, administrator, or specialist, this session will sharpen your instructional lens and provide actionable tools to help all students become confident, capable readers.

Learning Targets:
-Participants will understand the component cognitive and linguistic skills needed for word level reading.
-Participants will understand the source(s) of difficulties in word-level reading, including dyslexia.
-Participants will become aware of compensating students, who display "average” performance but require extraordinary effort to do so.

This professional development session will focus on how co-teaching teams can plan together and share leadership equally to create inclusive, high-impact classrooms.

In strong co-teaching partnerships, both educators-whether general education, special education, or ENL-share responsibility for instruction, classroom management, and student success. When both teachers are actively involved and recognized as equals by students and staff, the classroom becomes more supportive, respectful, and effective for all learners.

This session will explore strategies for building strong co-teaching relationships, planning lessons together, and working as a unified team. We'll also discuss how schools and districts can support co-teachers in creating learning environments where every student has access to meaningful, high-quality instruction.
