Pennsylvania Literacy
The Pennsylvania State Literacy Plan (PaSLP) was written to provide guidance to stakeholders about their roles in developing an integrated, aligned, and comprehensive set of literacy experiences for children (birth—grade 12). Administrators and educators will find specific information about developing, implementing, and evaluating an evidence-based school literacy program. The plan also addresses the important role of literacy partners, such as parents, librarians, those who work in community agencies or businesses, and so on, who make important contributions to the development of literacy learning.

PDE created learning paths to provide common language and literacy knowledge as a baseline of understanding for all Pennsylvania educators. Each learning path consists of a Power Point show which guides the participant through a series of activities including significant text selections, videos, and personal reflection opportunities. The accompanying journal allows the participant to record their findings either in digital or print form. All resources are embedded in the Power Point show and are also provided in the resource folder.
-
Options for Use: Teachers may participate in the learning paths for personal professional development. To receive Act 48 credit for a learning path, it is recommended to contact administration prior to beginning a learning path. PDE will not award Act 48 hours. It is incumbent upon the LEA to assign the appropriate hours. Administrators may use the learning paths to provide professional learning experiences for staff based on goals and established needs of students. Specific learning paths will enable educators to develop the skills and competencies to address identified needs. Administrators may assign a learning path for professional development, set expectations for accountability, and award Act 48 hours accordingly.
