Thank you for your service, Carol!

Today, our fearless Region 11 Team Leader, Carol Belcher, is retiring.  While it a sad day for all of us at the Alabama Reading Initiative, it is the start of a wonderful time for Carol, who has worked so diligently for our state.  With 38 years of serving Alabama's students, Carol is leaving a legacy that will impact many for years to come.  As she closes out her educational career with us, we wish her the best!  Thank you, Carol, for all of your love and service to our students, teachers, principals, and coaches.  You're the best!

ARI meets Diane Sweeney

ARI Regional Coaches and State Staff had a fabulous learning opportunity a few weeks ago.  Diane Sweeney, author of Student Centered Coaching, traveled to our state meeting and shared her vision of coaching.  It was a fabulous two days of learning and affirmation for the work that our coaches are doing across the great state of Alabama.  Check out the link below to see pictures that were trending during our time together!
