Early Literacy

Calhoun and Branch Intermediate School Districts received a grant to provide Early Literacy Coaching for districts in both counties.   Early Literacy Coaches provide support for General Education Leadership Network (GELN) Early Literacy Essential Practices in K-3 classrooms through professional learning with leaders and teachers, coaching cohorts and individual coaching.  In conjunction with the coaching support, elementary leadership professional learning sessions focused on the General Education Leadership Network (GELN) School-Wide & Center-Wide Essential Practices. These leadership sessions provide a deeper understanding and the connection of both essential classroom practices in literacy and building-wide system practices centered around a high impact literacy culture.
