One of the biggest challenges in implementing Comprehensive Literacy for All isn’t the framework itself—it’s getting teachers to believe that their students are truly capable of reaching high expectations. Many educators working with students with complex communication needs may not fully recognize the potential for literacy growth. This can sometimes result in unintentionally lowered expectations and missed opportunities for these students.

This webinar is designed for directors, administrators, and change-makers who are ready to shift mindsets and build strong teacher buy-in. We’ll explore practical strategies to help educators move past doubt, embrace high expectations, and implement comprehensive literacy practices with confidence.

All registrants will receive an email after the live session with a link to access an on-demand recording.
