The Literacy Excellence Network (LENS) is a learning community of districts committed to having at least 70% of its students reading at grade level/proficiency on state tests, steadily growing achievement each year.
Twice each year, members come together for an online conference. Members share lessons with each other and learn about progress on the following topics:
High-Quality Curriculum
Professional Learning & Coaching to Improve Teaching
Engaging Teaching & Grade-Level Work
Balanced Assessment & Analysis
Structuring Time & Extra Supports for Students
Special efforts with English learners and students with disabilities
