Open Books. Open Opportunity.
From 2017-2020, Read Charlotte’s Data Collaborative team led a three-year initiative to change the way our community understands, depends on, and uses data to improve children’s literacy outcomes. We held our final participant workshop via Zoom.
Eight nonprofit organizations participated in this initiative for the full three years: Above & Beyond Students, Ada Jenkins Center, Charlotte Bilingual Preschool, Freedom School Partners, Lakewood Preschool, The Learning Collaborative, YMCA, and YWCA. The goal of the initiative was for organizations to depend on, understand, and use literacy data to improve children’s language and literacy and development.
We are incredibly grateful to the Skeebo Foundation, Mecklenburg County, and the Read Charlotte Transformation Fund for approving funding for this project in 2017. Our work was possible because of your generous contribution.
