Halifax Learning is the pillar of science-based literacy, instruction, and training. We empower all learners with life-changing skills so they can chart their course and participate fully in life.As you learn more about Halifax Learning, here are our values and how they influence our day-to-day decisions, and how we interact with our teachers, our partners, educators, and most importantly - our students. EVIDENCEFrom Kay McPhee's SpellRead to modern research and gold standard reading education, the Science of Reading says it all.EMPOWERMENTBuilding confidence and unleashing potential starts with the basics. Reading delivers a strong foundation for a life of intention and purpose.Confidence is often half of the battle and all of our students learn in a safe and welcoming environment, feeling success each and every class.THE RIGHT TO READFar too many students in Canada are disenfranchised by a curriculum that fails to build adequate reading capacity.This "reading challenge" is not a measure of intelligence; arguably, our students are some of the brightest in their classes, but they need to be taught the way the brain needs to learn. Our program is based on science.SYSTEMIC CHANGEThe barriers between today and an equitable well-read tomorrow are real and require foundational shifts in approach and expectations.We celebrate the importance of "human capital." The most important resource in our world is people and our children. Literacy and poor literacy levels are at the root of many issues. Let's change this.EFFICIENT READINGTo read is not enough! The goal is to read efficiently, maximizing the imaginative potential of each brain and the economic impact of every individual.TEACHING TEACHERSRead a person a book, and they're enthralled for a moment. Teach a person to read and they can live an enthralling life. Equitable access to efficient literacy is found in teachers' classrooms.Halifax Learning - Results you can read!
