Literacy Excellence Network

What Is LENS?

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
  • Student Motivation & Effort

Each convening also examines how enabling conditions — such as leadership, strategy, and cultures of learning — contribute to steady ELA achievement
