The grant-funded Literacy Coaches’ Program by the Children’s Services Council of Martin County provides early childhood classroom teachers, assistants, and directors with Florida-certified educators with experience in providing high-quality, standards-based instruction. These coaches promote collaborative learning environments, and they are certified Teachstone CLASS observers to promote language-building interactions between teachers and students. Coaches are assigned to only four providers allowing teacher-specific professional development to meet the unique learner’s needs and challenges.
The Literacy Coaches support children living in poverty, since they are at-risk for school failure; respond to teachers’ needs and interests; and help to prepare children for success in Kindergarten and beyond. If you would like more information, please contact the Literacy Coaches and the Director of Provider Services at 877-220-1223 or email:
