Free resources for First Book Network educators, informed by Research & Insights.
Education research often never makes it into the hands of educators – meaning current, evidence-based strategies aren’t reaching the people who can put them to use or the kids who could benefit from them. The First Book Accelerator collaborates with experts to turn research and best practices into tools in a matter of weeks, bringing the most up-to-date information and resources to our network of educators and the millions of children they serve.
First Book Accelerator resources are created and refined based on a constant cycle of educator feedback. We collaborate with field experts, publishers, corporations, foundations, fellow nonprofits, leading academics, and individual donors to address the critical needs expressed by educators.
Free for educators in the First Book Network.
