Districts & Schools

Example Aims from current partnership:

Aim 1: In collaboration with your District our focus will be on developing a framework for Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). This framework aims to ensure equity for all students through data-informed decision-making and the identification of students at risk for reading and language difficulties. MTSS entails a comprehensive approach, encompassing universal screening, tiered interventions, and continuous progress monitoring, as advocated by leading experts (Gonzalez, J. E.. (2022). Unlocking the Promise of Multitiered Systems of Support (MTSS) for Linguistically Diverse Students).

Given that “The main indicator of quality for EBPs [Evidence Based Practices] (including specific interventions, activities and strategies implemented at the school or district levels) should be clear evidence of impact based on rigorous research. In short, proven impact in rigorous research should be the main indicator of quality for EBPs used to support schools and districts in improving student achievement” (oese.ed/gov). Left Side Strong LLC’s commitment to utilizing ongoing research and implementation grounded in EBPs while supporting communities in need. Professionals at Left Side Strong LLC are educators, researchers, higher education staff, and reading and language specialists whose core mission is to ensure students recognize their strengths and learning styles to advocate for what they need to succeed by providing school based staff with professional development that is feasible, adaptable, and sustainable to support every child in their classroom.

Aim 2: Based on an analysis of a needs assessment and current literature, provide X hours of professional that will enhance teaching, student learning, and school productivity in the areas of literacy and language. 

Current and ongoing research in the field have proven that PLCs are effective for improving teaching, student learning, and school productivity. “Teachers must be trained to use assessments effectively, to interpret data to monitor progress, and to adjust their instructions as needed (Dexter & Hughes, 2017)” et al D. Henderson, 2018.
