🔊 Abby Flores, teaching and learning coach, shares how educators at Lavaland Elementary are working together to improve literacy instruction and outcomes across grade levels.
The Structured Literacy ECHO Program helps educators across New Mexico implement reading and writing best practices in the classroom. Educators join ECHO virtual learning sessions to discuss literacy strategies, including the University of Florida Literacy Institute (UFLI) curriculum, and students’ reading challenges. At Lavaland Elementary, ECHO participants are taking a whole-school approach to structured literacy: educators across grade levels exchange literacy knowledge, close gaps in students’ reading and writing skills, and work toward improving schoolwide outcomes.

For Hepatitis Awareness Month, we invite you to read a study published by the International Journal of Drug Policy. The study demonstrates how Project ECHO’s collaborative programs with the New Mexico Corrections Department have helped decrease hepatitis C infection rates among newly incarcerated people.
Project ECHO and the New Mexico Corrections Department expanded access to hepatitis C treatment by screening newly incarcerated people at intake and training health care providers and incarcerated people in infectious disease prevention.
