Terri Clark was appointed Arizona Literacy Director in June 2012. In this role, she leads Read On Arizona, our state’s early literacy initiative.
Working in coordination with the Read On Arizona Advisory Board, she guides the statewide collaboration to advance the strategies, policies, and investments needed for all our children to learn to read at grade level and be successful in school. She drives alignment and coordination of efforts, provides literacy expertise and technical assistance to partners, and builds capacity to scale and sustain what works. She also leads collaborations with other states to identify and implement effective literacy policies and strategies.
Eyes On Learning is closely aligned with Read On Arizona, as children’s vision health is key to helping advance literacy and reading proficiency. Both initiatives are headquartered at Piper Trust, and Terri has served on the Eyes On Learning Advisory Board since its inception.
