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 literacy programs.
What Leaders Need is a series of online training sessions, each focusing on a specific topic that leaders have told us they need most.
Literacy Texas is proud to offer this training via a tri-state partnership with the Adult Learning Alliance of Arkansas and Oklahoma Literacy Coalition, bringing quality professional development to literacy leaders across three states. The partnership began in the 2023-24 grant year and continues as strong as ever.
