Liberty Hill ISD will be partnering with Region 13 ESC to provide Texas Reading Academies cohorts. These cohorts provide a collaborative platform to complete each of the Reading Academy modules . Teachers and support staff will not only have collaboration opportunities through their campus PLC's, but will be a part of a cohort community that facilitates discussions and shares out instructional practices and strategies. Teachers will receive registration information prior to the first day of the cohort.
