Early Literacy Consortium: Read901 Meeting Sprint 3
About this Event
What will it take to build communities where every child can grow as a reader?
Join the Early Literacy Consortium at Memphis Teacher Residency as we begin a five-meeting Read901 planning sprint to help answer that question together.
Read901 brings partners across Shelby County together around the shared priorities of our Early Literacy Plan. This fall, we’ll turn that shared direction into practical recommendations: the strategies, partnerships, resources, and measures of progress needed to move the work forward.
On November 18, we’ll:
- Review what we’ve learned about the current literacy system.
- Identify the strategies needed to achieve each Priority Team’s target.
- Discuss what effective implementation would require.
- Explore connections and opportunities for collaboration across priorities.
- Identify questions and follow-up work to inform scale and resource planning.
We’ll gather as the full ELC at each meeting, combining shared guidance with dedicated Priority Team working time. Between meetings, teams will have time to continue conversations, gather input, and move agreed tasks forward.
