The Fall River
Pathways to Family
Success project held a training session on the "Reading Adventure
Kits" for Head Start and Community Partnership Parent Workers on March 4,
2005. The purpose of Fall River Pathways is to increase opportunities for
family support and family literacy by improving coordination and
integration of services for Fall River families. The program includes Pre-GED
Literacy class at BCC as well as Professional development for 22 Parent

Title I schools. Pathways Partners come together for an exchange of
resources and to generate new ways to coordinate and integrate services
for Fall River families. The Fall River Pathways to Family Success Pilot
Project is one of five Pilots in Massachusetts, funded by the
Massachusetts Family
Literacy Consortium (MFLC), the Massachusetts Department of Education
and Verizon. |
