This was a wonderful experience. Incredible professional learning.
#TRLSummit2025 was an unforgettable two days of sharing knowledge & making connections.
As we begin translating new knowledge into practice, let's continue working together to get our translation of reading science closer to "just right" for all students counting on us.
What are you bringing back?
