"Literacy Leadership" The Learning Ally Podcast with Dr. Terrie Noland, CALP

Oct 22 2024 125 ep. 29 mins 5

We are growing a community of educators dedicated to literacy leadership. Our mission is simple: to smash the literacy gap by applying evidence-based reading practices to all grades and all stages of a student's reading journey, effectively influencing up, down, and sideways to drive the best outcomes for all. This is a place where educators empower each other through relationship building, storytelling, vulnerability, and intentionality. We believe that when educators are empowered, students succeed.
