IDEA Literacy Specially Designed Instruction

This session builds on the statewide FY27 GLRS Literacy Cohort informational session held on April 20 and is designed to support participation among interested districts. Participants examine the components of the GLRS Literacy SDI Cohort; review guidance related to participant selection and cohort expectations; and consider the role of district‑level, multi‑year planning in sustaining high‑quality literacy initiatives. The session also explores the use of diagnostic assessments and systematic data collection to inform literacy instruction. Discussion includes the role of administrator support in ensuring effective implementation and the long‑term impact of literacy professional learning and coaching for special education staff.
