Setting the Table: Advancing Literacy in DeKalb Together
Come join us for an exciting event focused on advancing literacy in our DeKalb community! This in-person gathering will be held at the DCSD Administrative and Instructional Complex Board Room, 1701 Mountain Industrial Blvd.
DeKalb Schools Educational Foundation, working with Becky Evans as GA Reads Ambassador, DCSD Curriculum and Instruction, DeKalb County, Piedmont Technical College, Reach Out and Read, and United Way Greater Atlanta, invites DeKalb organizations involved with literacy to engage with us. To tackle the literacy crisis, we must all join the team! The Schools cannot do it alone.
Literacy is an ecosystem, from birth to adulthood. Working with a facilitator from the Institute for Performance Improvement, we will come together to discuss ideas, share resources, identify barriers, and align our efforts to promote literacy for all in DeKalb. Our goal is to construct an ecosystem of universal literacy in our DeKalb community, infusing evidence based language and literacy instruction (also known as the Science of Reading or Structured Literacy) throughout all programs, from birth to to adulthood.
This meeting is Part One of two meetings. A second Strategic Planning Meeting will be held in February/March of 2026.
Don't miss out on this opportunity to connect with others who are passionate about improving literacy skills in our DeKalb community. See you there!
