Kentucky Early Literacy Leadership Network (KyELLN)
The KyELLN empowers districts in developing and implementing effective strategies for K-5 literacy grounded in high-quality instructional resources (HQIRs). To date, over 80 districts have participated in KyELLN, and the Office of Teaching and Learning is committed to furthering engagement for new district teams.
The network focuses on:
- Building sustainable district-level models for implementing early literacy instructional programs connected to HQIR;
- Developing strong systems and structures for early literacy instruction in schools and districts; and
- Leadership support of teacher professional learning communities and effective planning practices.
Overarching goals of the network are to:
- Provide an opportunity for district and school leaders to connect and learn from one another;
- Support improved teaching and learning experiences for K-5 teachers and students; and
- Increase access to grade-level learning in K-5 literacy.
