RRock Ready

Partnerships to ensure school readiness for all students.

From a RRock Ready Partner:

“I attended a session on building oral language in the early childhood classroom and learned about the importance of narrating what I do to ensure the little ones have opportunities to hear me speak as much as possible. This course was extremely helpful and full of great ideas. The presenters were very well organized and provded us with lots of tools to take away and implement in our classrooms.”

About RRock Ready

RRock Ready is a community partnership aimed to ensure school readiness for ALL students. Research proves the first five years are critical to a child’s development. RRock Ready aims to partner with community members and childcare providers who interact with children during these critical learning years to ensure all student enter school ready to learn.

RRock Ready is comprised of stakeholders from across the district, including educators from Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE), prekindergarten (PK), as well as other integral district personnel and community partners with a vested interest in early childhood. Through this partnership, childcare providers (licensed child care facilities and registered in-home daycares) receive free specialized professional development opportunities in many content areas such as early literacy, early numeral, social-emotional learning, play and language development, and differentiation. In addition, partners receive access to district recesources (Little Texas Big Futures) and tools to support family engagement (Ready Rosie).
