Staff member suggested jumping on the trend to spice up PD. 👌🏼 Last year we survived new curriculums, new accountability cuts, and I survived cancer. This year we will RISE and THRIVE. #cancersurvivors #principal #RiseAndThrive @TweetDCS_HLI

You have strong curricula. Dedicated educators. High-quality instructional materials. So why do students still experience reading instruction differently from one classroom, small group, or intervention setting to the next? One answer may be instructional coherence. When instructional routines, language, and expectations are aligned, students can focus less on adjusting to different approaches and more on learning. Join us for a free webinar to explore why instructional coherence matters and how Aligning Routines with Tier Bridge helps literacy teams create more connected, consistent reading instruction. 📅 July 28, 2026 🕓 4:00-5:00 PM ET Register today: hubs.ly/Q04nMJqc0 @devin_kearns

Congratulations! Today, the State Board of Education recognized the third cohort of graduates of the Literacy Coach Academy of Mississippi. #MsEdu
Today, the Mississippi State Board of Education recognized the third cohort of graduates of the Literacy Coach Academy of Mississippi (LCAM), a professional development program that provides Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) literacy coach training to educators who currently serve or will serve in a literacy coaching role in their districts. The cohort had a total of 19 graduates, but not all could attend today’s recognition. The LCAM trains K-5 lead teachers and district coaches in the same evidence-based methods used by MDE literacy coaches. These graduates just completed a rigorous, year-long course comparable to a college-level course. The photo shows graduates with MDE staffers.

🆕 Deep Dive article: From Elementary to Secondary: What Transfers? Structured literacy professional development is often geared towards primary school teachers, leaving gaps in how educators approach adolescent literacy- and expectations that secondary teachers apply elementary practices in middle and high school. This article examines which literacy instructional strategies transfer to adolescent reading demands and their unique student needs, and which do not. Dive in here: bit.ly/4toiE5p
