An essential component of a High Quality PreK program
ReadyRosie is supporting over 75 Texas School districts as they develop, implement, and make available effective family partnerships in early childhood.
ReadyRosie supports a two-generational approach to family engagement that aligns with the Texas PreK guidelines and the PFCE.

| Facilitate Family to Family Support | The ReadyRosie Family Workshop series and the Give Me Ten Workshop series facilitate safe and respectful environments where families can learn from each other and from a facilitator. The clear facilitator guides empower families to co-lead the sessions to encourage and model family leadership. |  |

| Equip Families with Tools to Enhance and Extend Learning | The ReadyRosie Modeled Moment Videos provide families with ongoing and real time information and training on creating a home learning environment connected to formal learning opportunities. The ReadyRosie Share platform allows educators to share content that is aligned to classroom instruction. |  |

The ReadyRosie PD is offered live, via webinar and through educator Research and Answer Videos. |  |
