Welcome to the Georgia Pathway to Language and Literacy!  Georgia Pathway to Language and Literacy (Georgia Pathway) is a Community of Practice (CoP) of educators who teach deaf and hard of hearing (D/HH) students throughout the State of Georgia.  The mission of the CoP is to advance the literacy proficiency of Georgia’s children who are D/HH and achieve grade-level reading proficiency by the end of third grade for all Georgia students with hearing loss, regardless of their communication modality.  The CoP provides educators with essential teaching resources, including effective teaching strategies showcased through videos and blogs, and a means to network with each other.

Georgia Pathway has partnered with many educators, non-profits, government entities, and other organizations throughout Georgia and the United States to launch the CoP.  The Georgia Pathway CoP kicked off on August 4, 2011 at a conference at Georgia Public Broadcasting.  Click here to view the entire simulcast.  To access the presentation given by Dr. Christina Yoshinaga-Itano, please click here.  To access the "I Know I Can" video that was developed for the statewide website launch, please click here.
