These sessions are designed to build the capacity of COSAs to guide teachers through reflective practice, data-informed decision-making, and the use of evidence-based strategies. By continually growing in these areas, COSAs will model a growth mindset, promote instructional excellence, and help ensure that all students have access to meaningful literacy learning.
