In the RBBB K-1 Program, Program Coaches train the 4th/5th-grade "Leaders" in RBBB's curriculum to foster reading confidence skills in their Kindergarten/1st-grade "Readers". In the RBBB 2-3 program, Program Coaches train the middle school "Leaders" in RBBB's curriculum to foster reading confidence skills in their 2nd/3rd grade "Readers". Primarily, the Program Coach facilitates the literacy program, ensures curriculum progress, and promotes a safe and healthy learning environment. Once weekly, the Program Coaches from the same school district will meet (virtually or in-person) with their Program Coordinator to share successes, address any concerns, and receive needed materials. Program Coaches also attend professional development workshops during the semester. The program ends with a graduation event at the assigned school.
