The event will heighten awareness of the importance of family literacy and highlight the success of the Toyota Family Literacy Program (TFLP); a combined effort of Providence Public Schools and the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL). The program is made possible through partnership and funding from Toyota, to effectively reach both parents and their school-aged children in Providence who are at risk for academic failure. The agenda will feature a presentation from Sarita Brown, founder and president of Exelencia in Education, and an expert panel to discuss current research on effective practices for increasing family literacy, the vital importance of this topic to the Latino community, and national, state, and local perspectives on literacy initiatives. Presenters will include Sharon Darling, President and Founder of NCFL, Anthony J. Colon, Vice President of the Center for Community Educational Excellence at National Council of La Raza, Senator Juan M. Pichardo of the RI General Assembly, and Dr. Peter McWalters, Commissioner of Education. For more information, contact: Email: Michelle_Carreiro@brown.edu |
