SUMMARY:Rangers Game - AEFL Week
DESCRIPTION:When resources are tight\, it can be difficult to know where to turn to get answers on core topics – but those answers are crucial to leaders’ ability to offer quality programs.  The What Leaders Need online training series for new and emerging literacy leaders is presented via a tri-state partnership. Literacy Texas is proud to partner with Adult Learning Alliance of Arkansas and Oklahoma Literacy Coalition to bring quality professional development to literacy leaders across three states. 								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n									Thank you so much for your interest!
