Open Access Professional Learning (OAPL) for Literacy in PreK-12
Mass Literacy is a statewide effort to empower educators with the evidence-based practices for literacy that all students need. Evidence-based instruction, provided within schools and classrooms that are culturally responsive and sustaining, will put our students on a path toward literacy for life. To advance equitable and evidence-based literacy practices across the state, DESE is offering professional development in literacy topics to Massachusetts educators through our OAPL program to support educators across grades Pre-K–12.
OAPL courses often fill up quickly. For those not able to secure a spot in an OAPL course, we encourage educators to continue to learn about evidence-based literacy by taking advantage of ongoing and upcoming opportunities such as the following: Mass Literacy Online Overview Course.
