OPPORTUNITY

Build the strongest corps of teachers possible.

“In Philadelphia, we are building the strongest corps

of teachers possible through the long-term strategy of

altering the teacher preparation pipeline, and the more

immediate term strategy of training – and in some cases

[IDA] certifying - our in-service teachers.”

Superintendent Hite, School District of Philadelphia

In order to reach more

educators and help them

translate increased knowledge

base into improved student

outcomes, we have to think

beyond traditional, in-person

literacy workshops.

To be truly innovative,

we also have to think

beyond standard “click-

and-snore” online training

platforms.

“If we can figure out how to help more kids with

dyslexia learn to read, that knowledge will provide the

backbone for getting it right for all kids in all schools.

And if we can’t succeed with this particular group of

kids, it’s unlikely we will succeed with all the others.”

Ralph Smith, Creator and Managing Director of the Campaign for Grade-Level Reading
