ALIGN for Schools, Districts & Educational Leaders
The ALIGN Framework™ supports schools, districts, and educational leaders in strengthening literacy systems through equitable decision-making, culturally responsive practice, and authentic family partnership.
Through professional learning, leadership institutes, and strategic partnerships, DABC helps educational leaders:
-
strengthen literacy identification and intervention systems,
-
improve culturally responsive literacy practices,
-
reduce inequitable patterns in referral and support,
