Congratulations to these outstanding educators for successfully completing their two-year Science of Reading professional development!
We are incredibly proud of the dedication they have shown to strengthening their knowledge of how students learn to read. Through this journey, they have gained powerful instructional strategies that will help support and grow strong readers in their classrooms for years to come.

A special thank you to our facilitators who helped guide and support this learning along the way: Mrs. Candance Rentz and Mrs. Sara Dollar (LETRS facilitators) and Mrs. Alicia Cloud (Georgia Literacy Modules facilitator). Your leadership and commitment to growing literacy instruction across our district is truly appreciated.

Your commitment to learning and improving instruction makes a lasting impact on our students. Thank you for investing in the success of every learner!
