Michigan was one of 20 states selected by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to receive this award.
From the PDG B-5, there is an allocated amount not to exceed $600,000 for competitive grants to support the development of ten regional hubs. The regional hubs will provide programs, materials, professional development, and other resources for educators to support literacy learning and learners in their earliest years as the foundations for literacy and future learning.
The ten regional hubs will form a network to increase equitable access and improve early literacy outcomes where providers, children, and families can seek and receive specific developmentally appropriate early literacy supports. The network of hubs will collaborate to support all families and learners with resources aligned to those provided from kindergarten through high school graduation. The ten awards will be in the amount of $60,000 per hub to be expended through December 30, 2021. The Birth to Five Literacy Support Network Hubs grants will: * Be equity focused, to ensure all racial and ethnic groups, linguistic and cultural groups, indigenous populations, low-income, and rural communities have equitable resources and programming; * Offer high quality and effective programming built on existing programming and resources within the communities and regions in an ongoing, supportive, and relevant manner; * Plan to be sustainable after the end of the PDG B-5 grant; and * Define "success" and identify qualitative and quantitative methods to measure successful outcomes of the programming and resources. To provide support in preparing to apply for this grant opportunity, two live webinars will be hosted by the Office of Great Start on: June 22 from 10:00-11:00 am at: https://michigan-host.zoom.us/j/82373194351<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmichigan-host.zoom.us%2Fj%2F82373194351&data=04%7C01%7CLancasterC5%40michigan.gov%7C7b34491ca7c14ec8382708d931cd6023%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637595580443656395%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=YluCzr0oIjAAWFPJ0XgfANSo1ZE724LDix8v4wVGpxo%3D&reserved=0> and June 23 from 2:30-3:30 pm at: https://michigan-host.zoom.us/j/85915968830<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fmichigan-host.zoom.us%2Fj%2F85915968830&data=04%7C01%7CLancasterC5%40michigan.gov%7C7b34491ca7c14ec8382708d931cd6023%7Cd5fb7087377742ad966a892ef47225d1%7C0%7C0%7C637595580443666350%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&sdata=o39EzbKxh7AyguLSMhXs8TpggmbOSPVf94z3wthJigI%3D&reserved=0> The webinars will provide instructions on how to complete the Birth to Five Literacy Support Network Hub grants.
