Professional Learning Institutes
Join in-person institutes for school and district leaders focused on implementation — beyond adoption.
Leading Evidence-Aligned Literacy: From Initiatives to Practice
Professional Learning Institutes help school and district leaders translate literacy policy, legislation, and initiatives into coherent instructional practice grounded in the science of reading and the science of learning.
In 2026, The Reading League will host five in-person institutes in California, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Texas.
What to Expect
Engage in a focused, leader-centered professional learning experience designed to help leaders strengthen literacy systems and implementation.
You will leave with clearer decision-making criteria, a stronger understanding of their role in implementation, and concrete next steps for strengthening evidence-aligned literacy across their schools or districts.
