The Wayne County Literacy Learning Network is a collaboration of local stakeholders dedicated to ensuring equitable access to high-quality literacy instruction for all learners in Wayne County. Over the summer, a subcommittee of the network focused on understanding dyslexia in order to develop resources and support for our community. Through reading professional literature and engaging in discussions, the committee is creating a clear roadmap to ensure that all school districts and public school academies (PSAs) in the county receive the necessary information and support to effectively navigate the requirements of the Michigan Dyslexia Law.<\/span><\/p>

In October and again in November, we invite you to participate in a full-day learning event titled Dyslexia Awareness, Instructional Strategies, and Policy Implications<\/a>. This session will provide an overview of dyslexia, including its characteristics and how it impacts learning. Participants will explore practical classroom strategies to support all students and discuss the implications of Michigan’s legislation for schools. Instructional coaches, literacy leaders, and principals will gain insights to guide effective literacy practices and schoolwide support. <\/span>We will continue to share <\/span><\/span>updates as<\/span> the Network and Wayne RESA develop and\/or receive additional resources and information.<\/span><\/p>

As the school year begins, coaches and principals stand at the threshold of transformation.\u00a0 It is a time brimming with potential, where relationships are renewed and the foundation for meaningful learning is set.\u00a0 In the book <\/span>Moves for Launching a New Year of Student-Centered Coaching, <\/span><\/i>authors Diane Seeney, Leanna S. Harris, and Julie Steele remind us that before we get into the deep work of coaching cycles, we have to start with building relationships, clarifying roles, and setting expectations.\u00a0 This approach, while it can feel slow, is the first coaching move toward long-term impact.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

For coaches to be successful, the principal and coach must forge a solid partnership.\u00a0 Coaches and school leaders should co-create a shared vision of the coaching role, model the culture they hope to nurture, and authentically engage teachers from the start.<\/span><\/p>

In <\/span>Moves for Launching a New Year of Student Centered Coaching, <\/span><\/i>the authors offer a structure and clarity through their fifteen intentional moves spanning the first 4 to 6 weeks.\u00a0 Each move is paired with practical tools, reflective checkpoints, and artifacts to guide both solo and collaborative reflection with principals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Wayne RESA is excited to welcome authors Diane Sweeney and Julie Steele to Wayne RESA this year for a 4-day series on coaching.\u00a0 We invite you to learn more about this learning opportunity<\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/a> During this series, Sweeney and Steele, will dig deeply into how coaches and principals can partner with one another to create meaningful systems and partnerships. <\/span><\/span><\/p>

The scarred landscape is a constant reminder of the potentially enduring damage, but Finn and Rabbit have resolved to discover how the forest can be restored. While Rabbit’s uncle, a science teacher, is involved in a forest restoration study, the two friends simply cannot wait. They believe that the “forest heart” might be the road to restoring the natural landscape, so they set out to find it. Despite their many challenges, Finn and Rabbit will not stop until they can figure out a way to preserve what is left of their forest.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Promise and Perils of AI in Education
<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span>Ken Shelton and Dee Lanier<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

\"Cover<\/span><\/span><\/p>

In response to the rapid evolution of AI, authors Ken Shelton and Dee Lanier have collaborated to unpack the positive and negative impacts of AI within the educational sphere. They explore the bias and the digital divide that AI not only exposes but often exacerbates. Additionally, they urge readers to consider the ways that AI could potentially (and negatively) influence processes in academic settings, such as admissions into higher education institutions as well as grading and assessment across K-16+. Ultimately, in their last chapter, Shelton and Lanier encourage readers to move “Toward a More Equitable AI Classroom.” As Sharif El-Mekki, CEO for The Center for Black Educator Development, notes, ” Ken Shelton and Dee Lanier provide a moral compass, a clarion call and techniques for us to use AI for equity and justice.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
