Educator Success Stories

Progress in Literacy Starts with Partnership

In collaboration with the Georgia Department of Education, the Rollins Center is helping schools across Georgia turn policy into practice—providing a clear roadmap and standing beside educators as they build knowledge, confidence, and results. As one leader shared, “We’re seeing student achievement rise, and with it, teacher buy-in.”

When educators feel supported, students discover the joy of learning.

Welcoming New Talk With Me Baby Partners

We’re celebrating four new Talk With Me Baby partners—Atlanta Birth Center, Center for Black Women’s Wellness, Ethnē Health, and Rainbow House Children’s Resource Center. Each received a $200,000 grant to deepen their work in language nutrition and family-centered care. Together, we’re building a movement grounded in equity, home language, and early brain development.

Georgia LitLink is our state’s literacy conference dedicated to Georgia public school teachers.

At LitLink 2025, educators came together to connect research, practice, and purpose—celebrating the science of reading and the movement shaping Georgia’s literacy future. From classroom strategies to statewide collaboration, this conference inspired, affirmed, and equipped teachers to continue the work of building strong readers.

As one participant shared, “It’s not only validating, but inspiring—and I can’t wait to bring my team back next year.”
