NM PED 2026 Literacy and Humanities Summer Conference

In this session designed for school and district leaders, participants will explore how to move beyond good intentions and into sustained, measurable impact. This presentation highlights the research-based principles of implementation science and the specific phases of implementation that help schools and districts turn literacy initiatives into consistent classroom practice.

Attendees will examine practical strategies for effectively rolling out literacy initiatives, building staff capacity, and supporting instructional fidelity. The session focuses on creating the organizational systems necessary to ensure literacy efforts lead to lasting student outcomes rather than becoming "just another initiative." Leaders will leave with a clearer understanding of how to navigate the shift from initial adoption to full, sustainable integration, ensuring that evidence-aligned practices reach every student in every classroom.
