About Us

The goals of the Central Region GREAT Center are to:

Establish a flexible needs-based learner-centered system of professional development for adult literacy teachers in the Central Region.

In collaboration with adult literacy teachers, establish a menu of professional development opportunities that permit - and even encourage - teachers to develop professionally in a variety of ways.

Investigate and pilot new technology-based methods of communication that can be used to facilitate professional development at a distance.

Promote understanding of the Adult Literacy Teachers' Credential Model among teachers in the Central Region, and, for teachers who decide to pursue it, facilitate the process of earning the credential.

Upon request, identify and provide professional development for directors and other administrators in areas of instructional leadership.

And, of course, collaborate with other GREAT Centers and with Texas LEARNS regarding the delivery of statewide initiatives.
