The document outlines an agenda for a literacy meeting that includes: discussing OSSLT intervention and remediation strategies; what to expect on the OSSLT; how the test relates to IEP students; connecting the OSSLT to the OCA; promoting literacy in all subjects; and sharing resources and planning. Attendees will break into groups to analyze OSSLT materials and expectations, compare the OSSLT to the OCA, and discuss how to help all teachers see themselves as literacy instructors across subjects.
