OLLI – Online Library Learning Initiative

Bright from the Start, the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning (DECAL), hosts a virtual warehouse of online learning modules and video podcasts designed specifically for teachers working with children from birth to age five called the Online Library Learning Initiative (OLLI).  OLLI houses a collection of short courses and video podcasts designed to enhance the quality of education for Georgia’s youngest students and keep them healthy and safe by improving the standards of practice for early learning.  Developed in partnership with Georgia State University, DECAL created OLLI through a grant from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.

 Course bundles include cultural responsiveness, dual language learners, social and emotional development, family engagement, language and literacy, effective teaching practices, and health and safety.
