Fountas & Pinnell Literacy™ Debuts January-April Professional Learning Journeys

Written by Fountas and Pinnell Team | Wed, Oct 12, '22

Now that you know your students and are settled into the school year, you may be finding that many of them continue to have specific learning needs related to the pandemic. These learning needs are also magnified by the recent release of national testing data. While quick fixes may sound appealing, educators need real investment in professional learning that is flexible, accessible, and nurturing for teachers to achieve a strong, sustainable shared vision for literacy success.

In order to meet this moment, we are offering extended professional learning opportunities for teachers currently utilizing Fountas and Pinnell Classroom™ and Leveled Literacy Intervention.

In these exciting new offerings, participants can benefit from hands-on mentoring and live collaboration with peers in recurring monthly sessions from January through April, 2023. The educators who join these journeys will build vital skills during the school year with the benefit of real time feedback. Members of each cohort will enjoy the camaraderie of fellow educators from across the country, joined together in a shared passion for elevating professional expertise.
