America has a reading crisis, and the literacy advocates fighting for change all have the same question: How do you turn passion into policy, and vision into measurable change?
Join us for a round table discussion with female educators who have cracked the code, raising their voices for literacy innovation in systems that often reward caution over bold action and building pathways for systemic literacy change:

Dr. Nyah Hamlett, Chief Equity & Development Officer, Montgomery County Public Schools; former Superintendent, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Public Schools

Cassandra Bell, Director of Curriculum & Instruction, Richmond City Public Schools

As your district plans for next year, gain insights from women who've successfully championed literacy at every level of leadership, and learn how leaders like you can navigate complexity to drive outcomes.

Panelists will share their experiences successfully navigating literacy legislation reforms, how they built unshakeable cases for investing in early literacy, and the strategic decisions they’ve made to make a measurable impact on student growth.

Learn their strategies for becoming a strategic literacy leader building pathways to long-term, systemic change. Jessica Reid Sliwerski, CEO and co-founder of Ignite Reading, will moderate the discussion.
