literacy champions program
Who are the Massachusetts Literacy Champions?
The Massachusetts Literacy Champion Program recognizes and supports unique and promising literacy educators, their practices and programs. Each year, multiple Literacy Champions are chosen from a competitive nomination pool by a panel of experts in the field of literacy education. The champions represent the entire state and the many fields of literacy education. Each has shown exceptional commitment and results through their work.
These Literacy Champions serve as ambassadors for the Massachusetts Literacy Foundation and share their work in literacy with peers across the Commonwealth. They advise and collaborate on annual publications distributed statewide that highlight successful practices and strategies for effective literacy programs. Award recipients are encouraged to remain actively engaged in the Literacy Champions program and outreach initiatives.
The Massachusetts Literacy Champion Program is supported by Verizon Check Into Literacy program foundation.verizon.com and the Massachusetts Literacy Foundation www.massliteracy.org . Each Literacy Champion receives $3,500 in grants to support their literacy program and professional development.
