Event Description

Join the Signal Education Research Network for a free panel discussion featuring Evergreen School Division, leader in educational innovation and recipient of the 2024 Dyslexia Canada Educational Excellence Award. This webinar is designed for educators, school and system leaders, and researchers interested in district-level improvement and data-informed practice.

The Case Study

Evergreen School Division, located in rural Manitoba, completely reformed its early literacy program in 2022. Since then, primary and elementary reading achievement has increased significantly. In this panel, Evergreen leaders will discuss how they enacted explicit and direct instruction, structured literacy, and an innovative response-to-intervention system. Evergreen’s effective efforts were not just in early literacy: student scores on the 2024 provincial high school pre-calculus assessments far outpace the provincial average. 

Panelists

In this session, Jessica Worden and Scott Hill from Evergreen School Division will share their insights from the process of curriculum and instructional reform. The focus will be on how evidence-based practices were introduced, scaled, and sustained.

Facillitators

• Dr. Jeanne Sinclair, Faculty of Education, Memorial University
• Dr. Joelle Rodway, Ontario Tech University
