Teton Literacy Center

Our Mission: To Change Lives Through the Power of Literacy
We define literacy as proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, listening, problem solving, and critical thinking.

Our Core Values:

• We prioritize individualized instruction through accessible programs, student centered learning, data driven instruction, and teacher reflection.
• We believe in providing authentic, personalized literacy learning experiences that lead to students’ and families’ success in classrooms, careers, and our community.
•   We value comprehensive support for the entire family, understanding that we can make the most impact by working together with families to support their children’s literacy development.
• We value collaboration with our community and volunteers as a way to provide the highest level of services and expand our students’ world view. 

Our Vision: A 100% Literate Community 
A literate community is one in which members have the literacy skills necessary to not only function, but to thrive. In a 100% literate community:

• Every parent will have the knowledge, awareness, and skills to actively support their child(ren)’s education and literacy development.
• Every child will graduate and have the knowledge, skills, problem solving ability, and lifelong learning attitudes to become contributing members of our society.
• Every adult will have the knowledge, skills, awareness, and attitudes that enable them to envision, pursue, and achieve their goals.

Our Approach: We Focus on Family Literacy 
We believe that a family literacy approach is the most effective way of achieving our vision of a 100% literate community. 

• TLC offers prevention, intervention, and enrichment services for families with children in Pre-K through 12th grade. 
• Our goal is to strengthen literacy skills for the family unit through tutoring, enrichment, and family literacy programs.
