What is Georgia Pathway?
Georgia Pathway to Language and Literacy (GA Pathway) is a coalition of local professional and parent organizations who have come together to: 1) Advance the literacy proficiency of Georgia’s children who are deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH); and 2) Achieve grade-level reading proficiency by the end of third grade for all Georgia students with hearing loss, regardless of their communication modality. We want our membership to include all who are committed to our children achieving these goals.
What is the “I know I can” conference about?
The Conference is a FREE event hosted by GA Pathway and Georgia Public Broadcasting. We will hear national and state leaders speak on the need for change and potential solutions. We will launch a new online Community of Practice to advance D/HH literacy goals in Georgia.
Who should attend?
All educators, professionals, parents, lawmakers, and community leaders and members who care about the literacy crisis for D/HH children are welcome. Interpreters will be provided.
When is the conference?
