Examine effective instructional techniques for developing reading fluency and comprehension with K-2 students to support confident, meaningful reading.

Learn the who, what, how, and why of Structured Literacy and the strong connection to the Essential Practices in Early Literacy. Participants will deepen their understanding of evidence-based reading instruction grounded in the Science of Reading. This session is designed to strengthen classroom practice, build instructional coherence, and support literacy outcomes for all learners.

Join MISD content consultants to learn about Michigan's Disciplinary Literacy resources, including MAISA GELN Schoolwide Essential Practices in Disciplinary Literacy and Classroom Instructional Practices in Disciplinary Literacy Instruction.

The MISD Disciplinary Literacy Team invites educators to participate in a year-long experience to learn about how Disciplinary Literacy provides a frame for high-quality literacy instruction, and to create a plan for implementing literacy in EVERY course students take.

Learn the who, what, how, and why of Structured Literacy and the strong connection to the Essential Practices in Early Literacy. Participants will deepen their understanding of evidence-based reading instruction grounded in the Science of Reading. This session is designed to strengthen classroom practice, build instructional coherence, and support literacy outcomes for all learners.

Learn research-based instructional approaches for developing rich oral language and vocabulary knowledge to strengthen comprehension for students in grades 3-5.

Learn research-based instructional approaches for building rich oral language and vocabulary skills that lay the groundwork for reading comprehension in K-2 classrooms.

Join educators across the county as we learn together using the book as a guide. Read between sessions, and try the many strategies included in the resource. Process your application of these strategies with colleagues using engaging discussion protocols. Participants will leave each session with concrete ideas to try with students right away. Out of County participants must purchase the book on your own.

Through this two-day deep dive into understanding the essential components of a strong Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), educators will explore how high-quality Tier 1 instruction, data-informed decision making, targeted interventions, and collaborative problem-solving work together to support the academic and behavioral success of every learner. This session will highlight practical strategies for building a cohesive MTSS framework that promotes early identification, timely support, and equitable outcomes for all students.

Build a strong foundation in phonemic awareness and phonics with practical, evidence-based instruction designed to support early readers in grades K-2.

Build and deepen your understanding of characteristics of dyslexia, evidence-based literacy practices, and structured literacy instruction aligned with the Science of Reading. Participants will explore how to identify and support learners with characteristics of dyslexia through effective screening, assessment, instruction, intervention, and Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).

This two-day training on the research supported principles of explicit instruction will empower educators to deliver clear, structured, and effective lessons for all learners. This session is designed to support consistent, evidence-based instructional practices that accelerate learning across grade levels and content areas.

Strengthen your instructional toolkit with strategies that build reading fluency and deepen comprehension for students in grades 3-5.

Strengthen small group reading instruction through evidence-based literacy practices aligned to the Science of Reading. Teachers will leave with practical tools and instructional routines that support differentiated learning and accelerate reading growth for all learners.

Participants will deepen their understanding of how to explicitly teach sentence construction, paragraph development, organization, vocabulary, and the writing process while supporting students in producing clear coherent narrative, informational, and opinion writing.

Develop and deliver differentiated, targeted small group instruction aligned to the diverse literacy needs of 3-5 students through scaffolded instruction while maintaining access to grade level content. Teachers will leave with practical tools and actionable strategies to maximize engagement, differentiation, and student growth during small group instruction.

What happens when students don't just consume content - but actually talk, think, and argue like experts in your discipline? Disciplinary literacy makes that possible in every classroom, every subject, every day. In this session, 6-12 educators will join MISD content consultants to begin to explore how a disciplinary literacy framework can shift the center of gravity in their classrooms - from teacher-delivered content to student-driven conversation and authentic engagement with real ideas.

The real measure of literacy instruction isn't what students can do on Friday's quiz, it's what they can do with a complex text, an unfamiliar word, or a challenging idea long after they leave your classroom. In this session, 6-12 educators will explore how disciplinary literacy can transform the way we teach reading and vocabulary by guiding students from supported practice to confident, independent sense-making. When we apprentice students into the real reading and word study habits of each discipline, we equip them with transferable skills that travel with them into college, careers, and everyday life.
