Partnerships are essential to efforts that accelerate the adoption of concepts and programs that increase 3rd grade reading proficiency, support parents and care givers, and ultimately improve the economic opportunity for families living in public housing. This session will feature two of the Campaign for Grade Level Reading’s Resource Network Partners, The Basics and ParentChild+, who are effectively stepping up in public housing communities to help assure better futures for children. With representatives from each, we will explore phases of early learning development, learn about home visiting partnerships with housing authorities and discuss the improved outcomes for children.
Presenters:
Bonnie Howard, Senior Fellow, The Campaign for Grade Level Reading
Ron Ferguson, Founder and Executive Director, The Basics
Malkia Singleton Ofori-Agyekum, Mid-Atlantic Regional Director ParentChild
