Adolescent Literacy Overview
Join the NCDPI Adolescent Literacy Team for Adolescent Literacy Overview, a one-day professional learning session designed for district and school-based teams leading literacy planning to review best practices in the field of literacy instruction for students in the grades 4-12 and to begin the problem-solving process of reviewing current practices (this session is designed for team attendance, not individuals to attend alone due to implementation planning built into the session). The session will assist your team in developing a sustainable, effective Adolescent Literacy framework within your school or PSU.
Successful completion and participation in this professional learning results in 0.6 CEUs.

The “Strategies and Innovations for Multilingual Learner Success” (or ML Success) project is underway! Through this project, the UNC Greensboro (UNCG) and NCDPI team members aim for:
- identifying schools that demonstrate success in supporting multilingual learners (MLs)’ academic development
- exploring strategies and innovations that contribute to the success for ML learning
- summarizing lessons learned and offering recommendations to inform ML-focuses policies and practices
Over the next 2 years, the team will collect and analyze data, as well as make recommendations to positively impact ML education. The project will invite 8 researchers from Institutions of Higher Education and 24 educators from K-12 schools to participate in the research team. Research team members will:
- participate in online workshop sessions during Summer 2023 (about 10 hours)

- contribute to data analysis and report writing during Fall 2023 and Spring 2024 (about 10 hours)
Eligible researchers and educators will each receive $1,500 for participation and a certificate of participation for up to a total of 30 hours after the completion of all project activities.
