A Scalable, Evidence-Based Solution for States, Districts, and Organizations Committed to Literacy Reform

ATLANTA, July 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Atlanta Speech School's Rollins Center for Language & Literacy and its free online training platform, Cox Campus, are scaling an evidence-based solution to one of our nation's greatest challenges—illiteracy.

To date, Cox Campus has delivered more than $180 million in structured literacy training, entirely free to teachers, schools, districts, and systems across the country.

Made possible by more than a decade of generous investment from local philanthropic organizations, Cox Campus provides internationally accredited professional learning rooted in the science of reading at no cost to educators. These professional development courses and resources are not only accessible, but they are also scalable and sustainable.

Cox Campus is a trusted platform, offering a proven pathway for meeting legislative mandates, deepening educator knowledge, and driving student outcomes.

Fueling Change from State Legislation to Classroom Impact

Cox Campus is not just a resource; it's an engine for statewide reform. In partnership with the Georgia Department of Education, the Rollins Center worked to use Cox Campus structured literacy courses to create the Georgia Literacy Academy. The Georgia Literacy Academy is available free of charge to all Georgia educators – interested educators may view additional information here.

Since its launch:

• 45,000+ Georgia educators have engaged in coursework
  
  
• 348,000+ structured literacy courses have been completed
  
  
• A market value of $52.2 million in professional learning has been delivered at no cost to Georgia educators, schools and districts

Across the US, 40 states have passed some form of literacy legislation rooted in the science of reading. In Ohio, more than 28,892 educators are Members of Cox Campus, and collectively they have completed 165,342 courses to fulfill a state-endorsed early childhood educator credential (an estimated FMV of $24.8M). In Wisconsin, Cox Campus has met the training qualifications of a new state law. As a result, more than 120 schools and districts have set up "locally led" groups on Cox Campus to advance their own professional learning. There are more than 13,708 teachers in Wisconsin who have completed over 108,059 courses at no cost to the state, districts, schools or teachers (an estimated FMV of $16.2M).
