Dyslexia and Instructional Equity: A Conversation for School Administrators
This podcast, designed for school administrators, delves into the systemic issues schools face, such as outdated views on dyslexia and the lack of alignment with evidence-based teaching strategies.
Dr. David Hurford, executive director of the Center for Reading, and Octavia Gray-Essex from Lexia®, share insight about supporting students with dyslexia to promote equitable and inclusive instruction, considering learning abilities, language experiences, and diverse backgrounds, to meet each student where they are and help them succeed.
The podcast aims to highlight the connection between dyslexia-inclusive teaching and instructional equity, offering administrators practical strategies to implement in their schools to advance literacy and equity goals.
The hosts tackle critical questions facing school administrators, including:
How does dyslexia-inclusive teaching look, and in what ways does it promote equity?
What evidence-based strategies can schools use to support students with dyslexia?
How can these strategies create a systemic, long-term impact on learning outcomes and instructional equity?
How can we measure success in building an equitable school culture that supports students with dyslexia?
What indicators can administrators use to assess their school's progress?
How can administrators advocate for dyslexia-inclusive practices and advance instructional equity in their schools?

Teachers: Be the Ultimate Expert in the Science of Reading
All students benefit from systematic and explicit reading instruction that includes phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension—those who read well, those with dyslexia or other learning differences, those from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds, and more.

Becoming an expert in and advocating for Structured Literacy instruction
Identifying areas of improvement in current literacy programs or curricula and leveling up feedback to decision-makers
Identifying professional development and training to implement Structured Literacy
Finding inspiration to achieve a shared vision of science of reading-based instruction in your classroom and beyond
