📚 Exciting things are happening for literacy in Florida!

FCRR is proud to support Rural Connect Florida, a $9.9 million, five-year initiative led by North East Florida Educational Consortium (NEFEC) in partnership with Panhandle Area Educational Consortium (PAEC) and Heartland Educational Consortium (HEC) to bring evidence-based, Science of Reading professional learning to rural and high-need schools across the state.

Recently, NEFEC kicked things off by bringing together the Tri-Consortia, FCRR, and Just Read, Florida! to train literacy leaders for the Rural Connect Florida Summer Academy, a 4-day professional learning experience for teachers from small and rural schools, made possible through an EIR grant.

Over five years, this initiative will reach more than 1,500 teachers and 31,000 students across 36 local education agencies.

As FCRR's Sarah Herrera put it: "Teachers don't operate in silos, they operate within a system. The goal is to build a system in which everyone feels supported and can then work together to improve outcomes for students."

We're proud to be part of this important work. 💙

"Working memory is the most challenging part of dyslexia. Unless an expert tells you it’s an actual problem, you just internalize it as being forgetful. Understanding my profile changed everything, from how I take notes to how I use audio-visual tools."
