Keynote: Good Trouble: Advancing Literacy Attainment for All
Dr. Mitchell Brookins, Managing Director of the Science of Reading Network
Literacy is a civil right! The hard truth is that three out of 10 students in the United States struggle to be proficient readers by the end of fourth grade. We’re in a time of a critical shift toward evidence-based reading instruction, and our students’ literacy gaps are causing us to disrupt this persistent inequity. In his keynote, Dr. Brookins will share insights on effective aspects of curriculum implementation, assessment systems, and a stronger professional learning system that empowers teachers to create meaningful literacy experiences for children. Finally, Dr. Brookins will challenge educators to get into good trouble as we collectively work to advance literacy attainment for all children.

Minnesota districts and charter schools are required to annually submit a local literacy plan to Minnesota Department of Education (MDE), and data on student performance in kindergarten and grades 1, 2 and 3 on foundational reading skills including phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, fluency and oral language; students who demonstrate characteristics of dyslexia; and students in grades 4 to 12 who are identified as not reading at grade level (Minn. Stat. 120B.12, subd. 4a [2023]).
The Local Literacy Plan submission replaces the Read Well by Third Grade (RWBTG) data and local literacy plan submission. Each district or charter school is required to complete one submission of their local literacy plan to MDE annually and post on the official school district website. For the 2024 submission, districts and charter schools will provide details from the 2023-24 school year and their 2024-25 literacy plan.
For more information, visit the Local Literacy Plan webpage.
