Professional Learning Community Emergent Literacy for Preschool Teachers

Educator Resource

Professional Learning Community: Emergent Literacy engages preschool teachers in regular, collaborative learning experiences to support their use of evidence-based language and literacy strategies when working with young children. 

The PLC materials are designed to guide preschool teachers as they collaborate through discussions, engage in hands-on activities, and reflect on their own implementation of strategies learned during the PLC with the support of peers and a trained facilitator. Through this collaborative learning experience, preschool teachers expand their knowledge base as they read, discuss, share, and apply evidence-based ideas and strategies.

The PLC suite of materials includes four modules: 

  • Print Knowledge
  • Phonological Awareness
  • Vocabulary
  • Oral Language. 

Each module comprises four resources: a Participant Guide, Facilitator Guide, PowerPoint presentation, and Videos.
