Reading Success Plan Workshops are a professional development opportunity for teachers and building leaders who are responsible for creating, implementing, and reporting on Reading Success Plans. These sessions focus on current literacy needs for students with Reading Success Plans. Participants will be encouraged to bring relevant data based on their district data cycle and the DESE assessment windows.

Session 1: Get familiar with the new guidance documents from the four state-approved Foundational Reading Assessment vendors, learn how to determine which students qualify for a Reading Success Plan, and discuss writing goals for plans and designing intervention for students who qualify.

Session 2: Review reporting guidelines for February reporting cycle, discuss progress monitoring and maintaining documentation, and learn how to analyze data to determine if changes in instruction are needed.

Session 3: Review dismissal requirements, June reporting guidelines, and maintaining documentation. Reflect on the current year and possible changes for the future.

Each session will build off of the previous learning session, so we encourage participants to sign up for the complete cohort. However, if participants cannot attend all sessions, attendance will not preclude from attending individual sessions.
