Seeing Literacy Progress Firsthand: Legislators Experience Evidence-Based Instruction in Oakland Schools
“On Oct. 29, local and state policymakers joined the Oakland Literacy Coalition, FULCRUM, and the California Early Literacy Coalition for school literacy learning walks in Oakland, followed by a panel discussion. The goal was to provide firsthand insight into how Oakland schools are implementing evidence-based literacy practices and the impact on student learning.
The panel discussion and visits to Korematsu Discovery Academy and Lighthouse Community Charter School highlighted several important lessons:
1. Effective Literacy Implementation Requires Skilled Leadership
2. A Systemic Approach Benefits All Learners
3. Teacher Capacity-Building is Key”
