second to learn cursive writing.

a classroom teacher for at least five years. Then, each selected Instructor receives hours of
special ALP training before teaching ALP courses to Academy students.
Q: Describe your classrooms?
A: ALP classrooms must be quiet, clean, comfortable, and well-lighted. This includes
classrooms in host facilities. Instructors ensure that the learning environment is respectful
and learning-rich for maximum student benefit.
Q: Do you teach literacy courses outside the local Academy Literacy Project schools in the
county?
A: Yes! We will teach any literacy course in a host facility to accommodate student needs.
The identical educational materials and instructors are provided as found in each local
ALP school.
Q: How can I have literacy courses taught in our facility?
A: Just call the local ALP school closest to your place of business or your group,
organization, or association office to discuss the scheduling of literacy courses there. Most
arrangements can be made in just one telephone call. Or, come in for a visit! We are here
to make this a very simple process.
Q: Is there an extra fee for that convenience?
A: No! There is no extra fee for anyone who hosts ALP courses in their own local facility.
We encourage this hosting to make ALP courses even more accessible to students who need
literacy instruction.
Q: What does the county office of ALP do?
A: We at the ALP county office support the local ALP schools through community
outreach, discussions with community members who want to lend support and enthusiasm,
and day-to-day advice on a range of topics. We are a sounding board for ideas that come
from ALP local school staff, classroom instructors, students, and community members.
