Our Services:
We offer a range of services, including evidence-aligned professional learning and coaching for Literacy Leaders and Educators in PK-12, comprehensive literacy audits, and literacy leadership training & coaching. Together, we can help you create the knowledge, systems, and structures required to support critical literacy work.
Instructional Leadership
Keys to Literacy will engage with your school or district to support building leaders, instructional coaches, and Literacy Leaders in understanding evidence-based practices, diagnosing the current state of classroom instruction, and establishing an effective literacy plan built on content knowledge and data to increase student achievement in literacy.
Implementation Schools
We partner with schools and districts across the country to help create high performing systems of learning. These partnerships are called, “implementation or laboratory schools”.
Literacy Evaluations
Keys to Literacy is one of the few literacy consulting groups that provides a comprehensive literacy audit for schools and districts.
Leadership Coaching
Our mission is to transform low- or under-performing schools into high-achieving, self-sustaining educational systems of excellence.
Leadership Institute & Professional Development
Systems, Structures and the Science of Reading are the key ingredients in all highly-performing schools.
Our Approach
Keys to Literacy works with districts and school leaders to create focused systems of learning by empowering school leaders to organize around 5 areas of highly effective schools: collaboration, instructional focus, data analysis, time, and a safe and orderly environment. When principals have the capacity to develop each of these areas in their schools, structures are created that support instruction and learning. It is these school leaders who will have the highest impact on student outcomes.
Take the Next Step
