    At the Leadership Summit, the Alaska Department of Education and Early Development’s Strategic Reading Plan and Alaska Reads Act elements were shared. Participants engaged in collaborative sharing of individual organization efforts to support Priority #1 of Alaska Education Challenge: all students will read at grade level by the end of grade three. The summit also included planning to support statewide professional learning alignment and implementation around reading achievement. Overall, the hope is to create a guiding coalition within the state that will create transformational change at all levels by aligning efforts and support. We look forward to further work together.
