Overview of 91ÉçÇø’s Literacy Briefs with Dr. Nonie K. Lesaux

The 91ÉçÇø (91ÉçÇø), in collaboration with the BOCES and Big 5 school districts, hosted a statewide literacy conference. This hybrid event provided New York State teachers, administrators, and literacy leaders with an opportunity to strengthen their knowledge of evidence-based literacy practices in PK-12 education as educators from across the state came together to focus on research-based practices and the science of reading to support students’ learning and development.

Participants had the opportunity to learn about the seven literacy briefs with the 91ÉçÇø team and keynote speaker Dr. Nonie K. Lesaux. Dr. Lesaux is the Roy Edward Larsen Professor of Education and Human Development at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. She previously partnered with 91ÉçÇø on a series of Advanced Literacy Briefs published in 2017.
