Hispanic Heritage Month is the perfect opportunity for educators to bring diverse stories to life in their classrooms. We've curated a must-read list of books that celebrate the vibrant histories and cultures of Hispanic communities, tailored for students from Pre-K to 3rd grade. These stories not only foster cultural awareness, but also help build a more inclusive learning environment. Let’s inspire our young readers and their families to explore these beautiful tales together! 👨👩👧👦 Join the conversation: How do you integrate diverse stories in your classroom? Share your favorite resources or tips below! Check out the full list here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/e7XjniDz #HispanicHeritageMonth #InclusiveEducation #EarlyLiteracy #DiversityInClassrooms

We close the literacy gap by closing the gap between home and school.📚 Ring the bell for the latest literacy research.
About us
Children spend 75% of their waking hours outside of the classroom, yet our nation does shockingly little to capture educational value from this time for low-income kids. Our program coaches educators and family members to help kids learn to read on grade level by 4th grade. Springboard Collaborative envisions a world where all children have the requisite literacy skills to access life opportunities. Nationally, we are the only organization to have cracked the code on equipping marginalized families to teach reading at home. At Springboard Collaborative, family-educator collaboration is the most joyful, culturally affirming, and cost-effective way to give kids access to high-quality instructional time. Our recipe for impact is a method called Family-Educator Learning Accelerators (or FELAs). FELAs are 5-to-10-week cycles during which families and educators team up to help kids reach learning goals. When educators and families collaborate, the results are extraordinary. In districts that struggle to get 20% of parents to attend report card conferences, Springboard Collaborative’s weekly family workshops average 88% attendance. For every hour that a teacher leads a workshop, parents deliver 25 hours of tutoring at home. As a result, students average 4-5 months of reading gain during each program cycle, closing the gap to grade level by half in just five or ten weeks.

Our Mid-Atlantic Executive Director Allan La Grenade-Finch finds inspiration in two things: ⤵️ "What I love about the work is that I get to advocate for my students and connect them to opportunities that will benefit them today and tomorrow. I also get to be part of an amazing group of peers and colleagues who are passionate about the work that we do and experts in their fields. It’s a real treat to work alongside such smart, intelligent, passionate people who care deeply about the outcomes we have for students and families. I am grateful to be here, and I’m looking forward to many years to come." #Education #StudentSuccess #K12Education

Thank you Coney Island Prep for allowing us to be part of your first Summer Boost program. As one student said, “I’ve been learning how to break down words, sound out a lot of words, and I have written so much fine doing that. Sometimes I get my whiteboards and we draw, we write the word on the whiteboards and we sound them out each sound.” Together, we're building a strong community and empowering students and families to achieve new reading goals. Here's to many more summers of growth and success! #SummerReading #Education #FamilyEngagement

Meet Ms. Poe, a student turned educator at P.S. 40Q and a Springboard Collaborative program leader in South Jamaica, Queens 👋 ♥️ She exemplifies the power of community-driven education. 🧑🏫Growing up in public housing as one of fifteen siblings, Ms. Poe nurtured her dream of becoming an educator from a young age. 🏫She knew she eventually wanted to return to the school she grew up in to support her community. Her commitment extends beyond the classroom, as she builds rapport with families through everyday community interactions. 🚀 New York City Public Schools' partnership with Springboard Collaborative has enabled Ms. Poe to become a program leader. She has been able to amplify her impact not only within her school but within her community as well. Pictured with Ms. Poe are her husband and her son who is currently a Springboard Collaborative student and Teacher Ms. Gronenthal.

Thank you Hispanic Foundation of Silicon Valley for being an incredible partner. Your generosity has helped over 450 Alum Rock Union Elementary School District students in 2024 build essential literacy skills. #literacymatters
We're proud to partner with Springboard Collaborative to support summer literacy programs in the Alum Rock Union School District in East San Jose. These programs help K-4 students build essential reading skills and close the literacy gap, allowing #SiliconValleyLatino students to excel academically. Our #HFSV team visited San Antonio Elementary and observed a Family Engagement Learning Accelerator (FELA) workshop. During the visit, parents shared heartwarming stories of their children's increased interest in reading and significant growth, now reading chapter books! We were moved by the families' engagement and the joy on the children's faces as they saw their parents supporting them. Engaged parents lead to motivated, confident students!✨ We are grateful for a partnership that allows us to support young learners and their families.
