Literacy Coaching K-8

Through generous funding from the Lilly Endowment, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) launched the Indiana Literacy Cadre Initiative in 2022 as a central component of the state’s comprehensive strategy to improve early literacy outcomes. Grounded in the science of reading as outlined in Indiana Code 20-18-2-17.5 , the initiative directly supported Indiana’s goal of achieving 95 percent third-grade literacy proficiency by 2027, with a deliberate focus on expanding access to high-quality foundational reading instruction for all Hoosier students.The selected respondent will serve as a partner with IDOE to coordinate, implement, and monitor literacy coaching program initiatives.
