FYI forwarded on behalf of Becky Dyer, MEFLI Director

If you have an interest in family literacy or improving the literacy of parents and their children in your community, the Maine Family Literacy Initiative has some professional development that may interest you.

The Family Literacy Academy consists of eight workshops that address the following issues:
*        recruitment strategies;
*        persistence and relationships;
*        integration of services;
*        partnering with other agencies;
*        early language and literacy;
*        parent education;
*         home visiting; and
*        transition of families out of family literacy

These workshops are 3-4 hour sessions and are presented by the Maine Family Literacy Initiative's successful Lighthouse programs.

The cost is $10 per workshop or $20 per day.  Those signing up for the whole day will also receive lunch.

To see the complete list of workshops, descriptions, times, dates and locations, go to www.mainefamilyliteracy.com<http://www.mainefamilyliteracy.com> or see the attached flyer.
