Think of your favorite professional colleague. You know that productive buzz that happens when you’re together? Time flies as you discuss issues, imagine solutions, share resources.

You leave those conversations wiser, better resourced, and ready to make an impact in your classroom or school.

The EKC Community is all about amplifying that kind of professional, productive buzz between international schools.

Designed with YOU in mind, the EKC Community brings international school teachers and leaders together around evolutions in K-12 literacy best practices… across disciplines and languages.

How do we do that?

• An opportunity to be part of a global community of international school teachers and leaders where you can connect, share ideas, and get regular feedback.

• *Unlimited access to EKC's collection of on-demand, expert-led literacy courses designed to accelerate the literacy journey. Each course normally costs $299, but your membership makes the entire collection available for all PK-12 teachers, leaders, and support staff.

• Downloadable lesson planners created by EKC’s all-star team of literacy strategists. You can lean on our library of resources to efficiently create targeted lesson plans for whole group, small group, and individual literacy needs.

• Access to reading/writing resource padlets on topics like Word Study, Reading Assessments, K—3 Reading, Humanities and more. Each padlet is filled with links to research, text suggestions, planners, small group tools, etc. A treasure trove of organized resources to support the launch (or evolution) of your next literacy endeavor.

• Meet-ups with literacy experts. Who doesn’t want direct connections with some of the world’s most innovative thinkers? Our regular, exclusive meet-ups on hot topics in international literacy translate theory into practice and provide direct access to leaders in the literacy world.

• Tapas PD with EKC! Bite-sized, video-based teaching strategies and answers to global FAQs from EKC’s strategists - designed to quickly build teaching skills or serve as prompts for coaching sessions. Play one of these before a whole-school weekly meeting, a parent education session, or a grade-level planning session.

• Literacy Leaders Corner. Access to our globally-tried-and-true EKC resources for planning engaging, high-impact professional learning in international schools. Think grade-level team meeting protocols, whole-school presentations, coaching resources, etc.
