The Academy serves as a central hub for educators, school leaders, families, and community partners seeking practical, user-friendly materials. The goal is simple – to encourage widespread use of these free valuable tools in classrooms, schools, homes, and other settings-anywhere that children are learning. Access a variety of brief lessons and longer courses designed to help you use the many free, evidence-based materials highlighted on fcrr.org. Each resource was made with you in mind. The Academy will help you use them. Literacy coaches, school leaders, and providers can also use these lessons in their own coaching and professional learning sessions with their teachers or literacy events with families and community members. The Academy houses everything you need to provide face-to-face professional learning opportunities in your school, district, and community. These long courses are designed to foster expertise in reading instruction, literacy coaching, and literacy leadership, and may even contribute towards endorsements or recertification (training and state approval may be required to access some courses).
