FDRESA is proud to announce that Lesley Taylor, one of our very own RBLC’s, has been named to the Georgia State Literacy task force by Speaker John Burns. The task force will be responsible for evaluating and recommending key components of Georgia’s historic literacy reform, including professional learning programs, reading screeners and high-quality instructional materials aligned with the state’s science-based literacy standards. Congratulations, Lesley!

📚 FDRESA is working alongside literacy coaches across all 20 of our school districts! 💙
Our FDRESA Regional Literacy team is modeling effective coaching strategies—demonstration lessons, co-planning, data conversations, reflective questioning, goal setting, and meaningful feedback—that coaches can take back and use with teachers in their schools. By building the capacity of our coaches, we’re strengthening literacy instruction one classroom at a time!

🚨 School Safety in Action! 🚨

We recently had a great group in Brunswick for our School Safety & Anti-Gang training with GEMA Instructor Kate Hargrove! Participants strengthened their knowledge and skills in critical areas of school safety, including Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE), Stop the Bleed, and Visual Weapons Screening. The training also included hands-on practice with Stop the Bleed techniques to help participants feel more prepared to respond during an emergency.
