Literacy Improvement Pathway

The Literacy Improvement Pathway is a series of professional development sessions focused on the who, what, when, why, and how to build and improve school culture surrounding literacy. Each session builds on research and best-practice principles to support school administrators, teacher leaders, and school improvement teams in closing achievement gaps in literacy.


Presented by Dr. Brandie Bohney and Dr. Linda Uveges, this series is free for client-building-level teams and $250 for non-client-building-level teams for the entire series. A la carte sessions are not available.


All sessions are held at our NCOESC Tiffin Campus. Graduate credit is available through Ashland University.

SESSION 1

Leadership and Time

The first in the five-part series, Leadership and Time focuses on the importance of leadership involvement in literacy initiatives and ways to creatively find time for improving literacy experiences and outcomes. Participants will walk away empowered with ideas for developing time-effective solutions to big literacy problems.
