PHILADELPHIA, June 21, 2024 ~ The School District of Philadelphia (SDP) is gearing up to host a groundbreaking training event at Motivation High School, aimed at equipping educators with the necessary tools and knowledge to enhance literacy instruction. The four-day Summer Institute, scheduled for June 24-27, is expected to draw over 800 educators and will focus on implementing instructional practices aligned with the science of reading research.
This event holds great significance for the District as it reflects their commitment to improving literacy outcomes and ensuring all students have access to high-quality learning experiences. By incorporating the science of reading principles into Imagine Learning EL Education, the District hopes to revolutionize literacy instruction.

Superintendent Tony B. Watlington Sr., Ed.D., expressed his enthusiasm for this initiative, stating that "embracing the science of reading is a testament to our commitment to accelerating our students' academic achievement." He also highlighted the District's impressive progress in reading recovery among large urban peer districts, as reported by the Education Recovery Scorecard released by Harvard University Center for Education Policy Research and The Educational Opportunity Project at Stanford University.
The Summer Institute promises an engaging and interactive experience for educators, with hands-on training sessions and opportunities to explore and implement science of reading principles in their classrooms. Keynote speakers Nicole Ormandy, Senior Director of Content Development at AIM Institute for Learning and Research, and Dr. Megan Gierka, Senior Content Developer at AIM Institute for Learning and Research, will share their expertise on best practices in the science of reading.
Participants can expect to gain insights into year-long planning, effective strategies for student engagement, and a deeper understanding of how Imagine Learning EL Education can support literacy instruction. The goal is to equip educators with the necessary skills to help students learn to read and, ultimately, read to learn.
