• The Massachusetts chapter of The Reading League is committed to advancing the awareness, understanding, and use of evidence-based reading instruction through supporting and educating administrators, teachers, paraprofessionals, educator preparation programs, parents, and other interested parties.
• We aim to be inclusive of all educators who want to grow in their knowledge and instructional methodology in ways to support students to become readers and writers with confidence.
• We aim to support teachers in advocating for their students, parents in advocating for their children, and schools/districts in advocating for systematic evidence-based programming in literacy for all.
• We aim to strengthen relationships among the DESE, educator preparation programs, local districts, and independent/private/parochial schools to build systems and supports to ensure those primarily responsible for effective literacy instruction and assessment are well prepared and engaged in continuous growth.
• We hope to meet stakeholders where they are and bring them forward in ways that are comprehensible, accessible, and culturally responsive.
