Making a Difference, One Brilliant Mind at a Time
Las Cruces Public Schools’ (LCPS) 2024-2029 strategic plan:
Where All Learners Thrive prioritizes high-quality early literacy instruction. As part of this effort, LCPS launched a Head Start initiative to strengthen foundational skills, particularly for bilingual learners.
In partnership with Footsteps2Brilliance, Greenville ISD launched Rally Round Reading in 2018, a community-wide bilingual early literacy initiative for all children in Greenville, ages birth through 3rd grade. Engagement with the program grew rapidly and the district experienced a positive impact on kindergarten readiness and3rd grade reading after only a few months.
Two schools in LAUSD partnered with Footsteps2Brilliance (F2B) to pilot a bilingual literacy program, Dayton Heights and State Street schools. This initiative aligned with district objectives to create consistency across Early Education Centers (EECs), increase parental engagement, support English and Spanish learners, report on DRDP-aligned skills, and provide a scalable model for success district-wide.
