Celebrating Professional Development Award Winners and the Foundation for Struggling Readers
A lot of good happened this year! Today the RRCNA community is celebrating our Professional Development Award winners. A key tenet of Reading Recovery is a commitment to continuous professional development; the ten Teacher Leader Scholarships and 38 Professional Development Awards funded by friends, partners, and members are a clear example of this investment in our community!
These awards were made possible by generous donations from friends and supporters of the Foundation for Struggling Readers. With the end of the year approaching, it’s your last chance to double your donation as part of our annual appeal. We are sending a huge thank you to all of RRCNA’s incredible supporters who have already donated! We can not wait to celebrate our award winners with you at LitCon.
Thank you to our Associate Member supporters who made these awards possible.
