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.

Each study group will span 2-3 days, with some sessions hosted at BOCES at the dates listed above and others unfolding right inside classrooms. This blend of study and live practice ensures that participants move fluidly between theory and action, learning that is both intellectually rich and immediately useful.

Study group topics will be responsive to teacher needs, drawn from current classroom realities and aligned to district priorities. Whether the focus is strengthening conferring and small group instruction or making phonics more playful and powerful, each group will center the questions that matter most to teachers and kids.

Across the school year, The Reading & Writing Project at Mossflower will lead four multi-day Literacy Study Groups designed to meet educators where they are-and to help them grow. These sessions are crafted especially for teachers and coaches who are eager to roll up their sleeves, study deeply, and refine their practice in real-time. Each study group will span 2-3 days, with some sessions hosted at BOCES at the dates listed above and others unfolding right inside classrooms. This blend of study and live practice ensures that participants move fluidly between theory and action, learning that is both intellectually rich and immediately useful. Study group topics will be responsive to teacher needs, drawn from current classroom realities and aligned to district priorities. Whether the focus is strengthening conferring and small group instruction or making phonics more playful and powerful, each group will center the questions that matter most to teachers and kids. Participants will leave each session not only with new insights and tools, but with a deeper sense of professional belonging-part of a community of educators dedicated to helping all students grow as readers, writers, and thinkers.
