 Reminder: Reading Improvement Plan Resource Overview Webinar
In the Reading Improvement Plan Resource Overview webinar, participants will learn about the various components of the Reading Improvement Plan template. The primary learning goal is to acquire an understanding of using the template to meet the requirements of the Read to Succeed Act and amendments found in KRS 158.305.
To achieve success in this session, participants should comprehend the pivotal role of data-based decision-making in both the development and monitoring phases of the Reading Improvement Plan. Throughout the presentation, significant topics will be discussed, including a Reading Improvement Plan overview of requirements, family notification and engagement, and the importance of progress monitoring.
This session aims to equip participants with the resources, knowledge and skills for effective implementation of the Reading Improvement Plan. A participant’s guide is available for webinar reflection and engagement, as well as a PDF of the slides used in the video.
