Dyslexia and Instructional Equity: A Conversation for School Administrators

This webinar geared toward school administrators explores schools’ systemic challenges that include an outmoded understanding of dyslexia and lack of alignment with evidence-based instructional strategies. 

Dr. David Hurford, executive director of the Center for Reading, and Lexia’s own Octavia Gray-Essex discuss how to support students with dyslexia and foster equitable instruction, inclusive of learning ability, language experience, and background to meet every student exactly where they are as individuals to help them succeed.

The webinar’s goal is to illustrate the interconnectedness of dyslexia-inclusive teaching and instructional equity, and to provide administrators with actionable strategies to implement in their schools and simultaneously advance goals of literacy and equity. 

The hosts address the key questions school administrators are facing, including:

• What does dyslexia-inclusive teaching look like, and how does it support equity?
• What evidence-supported strategies can schools implement to support students with dyslexia?
• How can these strategies have a systemic, long-term impact on learning outcomes and instructional equity? 
• When it comes to building an equitable school culture that supports students with dyslexia, how will we know we’ve been successful? 
• What are some milestones administrators can use to assess their school’s progress?
• How can administrators advocate for dyslexia-inclusive practices and advance instructional equity in their schools?
