We were excited to host the Literacy Coach Network Cohort (LCN) Meeting today —an engaging day of collaboration and meaningful conversation.
The Sandra Dunagan Deal Center, in partnership with the Georgia Department of Education, is empowering over 70 literacy coaches across Georgia through this two-year initiative. With ongoing training and support, the cohort continues to strengthen literacy coaching and student outcomes statewide.🌟📚

We had a wonderful day co-hosting a powerful learning experience supporting literacy with SWRESA at the Seeds of Literacy Conference! 🌱📚

Already looking forward to continuing this partnership and building an even stronger experience for next year! 💫 #LiteracyMatters #CPRESA #SWRESA #SeedsOfLiteracy #Collaboration
✨We’re getting everything ready for our very FIRST Seeds of Literacy Conference tomorrow! 🌱📚
The energy is building, the final touches are coming together, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone. It’s going to be an incredible time of learning, growing, and planting seeds that will make a lasting impact!
We are excited to be in the final stages of preparation for next week's Seeds of Literacy Conference! We hope to see you there!
Day 2 of Growing Readers was all about deepening practice and growing together! 📚🌟
Participants from Brooks, Cook, Thomas, and Turner county school districts strengthened their understanding of explicit instruction, planned purposeful lessons, and practiced teaching with clear, actionable steps. They also designed small-group lessons tailored to student needs—and enjoyed plenty of fellowship along the way. A powerful day of learning, collaboration, and connection! 💙💚
📚 Growing Readers participants engaged in a day of learning today. They received a fun read-aloud book in honor of World Read Aloud Day and deepened their knowledge with reading skills, connected them to reading behaviors, and applied strategies to better support student instruction. 🍎📚
Come and Join us at our Literacy Conference hosted by SWRESA and Coastal Plains RESA at the Thomas County Board of Education in Thomasville, GA 📚
🔥 Only 3 seats left — they could be yours!

On Wednesday, the CPRESA staff gathered to celebrate the retirement of Mr. Bobby Smith. With 5 decades of service in many different roles, Bobby is known state-wide for his work to improve outcomes for Georgia students, and the CPRESA districts especially have benefitted from his expertise. Bobby, we salute you! You are a legend in school improvement, a man who can make Excel do your bidding and data beg for mercy! You will be missed (but we still have your phone number)!

Coastal Plains RESA Executive Director, Mr. Wes Taylor, welcomes educators to GaDOE’s Winter Teaching and Learning Summit. It was a great day of learning!
K-12 teachers came together at CPRESA for ways to shift instruction in their K-12 Social Studies classroom towards more engaging, literacy-rich, student-centered practices. They discovered inquiry-based practices to promote students’ active processing of text as they aligned instruction to the content and skills of the GSE.
Echols County is doing a great job integrating phonics instruction in a meaningful way! 🎉
