Virginia Literacy Updates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Audience: Superintendents, Directors, School Principals, Teachers
Contact: Michelle Wallace, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction, Michelle.Wallace@doe.virginia.gov<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on the feedback received from superintendents and local instructional leaders during the recent Literacy Network Implementation meetings, VDOE has released an extensive update<\/a> on literacy planning for division leaders to use as a guide while creating their division literacy plans, planning for future training, and assessing their school division\u2019s needs around full implementation of the Virginia Literacy Act.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, to assist divisions in the creating of their literacy plans, VDOE has created an updated instructional document<\/a> intended to provide division level guidance and support. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Required by the VLA and as a best practice, school divisions should have a well-articulated Division Literacy Plan that can be shared with stakeholders and assist in communicating implementation expectations across all schools. The literacy plan is designed to improve early literacy outcomes for students in pre-kindergarten through grade eight by requiring school divisions to address how the local school board will align the following with evidence-based literacy instruction practices aligned with science-based reading research. All documents, including the most recent update, instructions, and new DLP can be found on the VDOE website<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
