Putting the "Specific" into Literacy SMART Goals

9:45am-10:45am

Students cannot learn from instructional practices or learning opportunities that are not effectively delivered. In this session, participants will examine the power of adult-centered SMART goals as a driver for improved student achievement. Presenters will use recently published state lists of evidence-based literacy practices to model effective, specific goal-setting for students and adults as well as model the use of effort and fidelity data to support educators in their professional learning in service to student outcomes.

Audience - DACs, District Leaders, Lead Teachers/Teachers

Speakers:
Jennifer Wazlawik, Literacy Specialist, Minnesota Department of Education
Cory Stai, Literacy Specialist, Minnesota Department of Education
