Kick Off Your New School Year with Professional Development from NCFL! 

 

Foundations in Family Literacy

August 5 -- 6

Learn about the four components of family literacy services-Children's
Education, Adult Education, Parent Time, and Parent and Child Together
(PACT) Time-and the research that supports intergenerational literacy
development. Perfect for those new to the field of family literacy, but
also rewarding for experienced practitioners who want to "renew and
review" their knowledge of family literacy.

                                

All Your Parents = AYP

August 5

Explore evidence-based strategies for parent involvement that help
parents support children's overall academic goals and help schools meet
the No Child Left Behind goals of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).

                                

Literacy Everywhere, All of the Time: An Introduction to National Early
Literacy Panel Findings

August 5

Learn what the National Early Literacy Panel (NELP) has to say about
interventions and practices that build foundational early literacy
skills and lead to successful reading outcomes.

                                

Preschool Parent Workshops to Go
