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 literacy 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 2023 and continues as strong as ever.
Details for all sessions will be advertised throughout the year, including presenters and specific session times. Sign up for our mailing list to get all the info direct to your inbox, or check the Literacy Texas Calendar periodically for new events.
