Join the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading on June 2, from 3–4:30 p.m. ET, as they explore what it really takes to develop leaders and leadership systems that keep their focus on implementation — and drive measurable outcomes for students.

In this session, leaders in Indian River County will share practical strategies and lessons learned from their work, including how they are aligning their community around an ambitious vision, building leadership infrastructure that keeps implementation on track, and enabling consistent progress towards stronger literacy outcomes.
