Growing Together: Strategic Approaches to Lifelong Educator Learning

Professional learning is most effective when it is continuous, relevant, and directly connected to student success. This executive digest, developed from Lexia’s 2025 Science of Reading Leadership Summits, outlines how school and district leaders are moving beyond one-time workshops to create lasting, embedded systems of educator support.

The resource identifies three key strategies for success: aligning professional learning with district priorities, offering flexible and varied learning opportunities, and fostering collaborative, schoolwide commitment. Leaders are building structures that prioritize time for learning, support coaching and collaboration, and make growth part of daily practice. This shift ensures professional development is not an add-on but a core component of effective teaching.

Lexia® supports this work through two flagship offerings. Lexia® LETRS® Professional Learning equips pre-K–3 educators with deep knowledge of foundational reading instruction. Lexia Aspire® Professional Learning supports upper-elementary through high school educators in integrating literacy across content areas. Both programs are evidence-based, flexible, and built to support sustained impact.

By investing in long-term educator development, school leaders ensure instructional quality improves alongside student outcomes. Lexia provides the tools, training, and guidance to help every educator lead with confidence and grow with purpose.
