RIDE recently received a $40 million federal grant to improve literacy outcomes for RI students, birth through grade twelve. The grant will focus on developing literacy coaching structures, strengthening partnerships with educator preparation programs, and reimagining systems for multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS).
RI local education agencies (LEAs) and community based organizations (CBOs) are encouraged to review the goals of the grant and the scope of work overview. The grant is divided into three divisions: Birth-PK, Elementary (K-5), and Secondary (6-12). Please reach out to clsd@ride.ri.gov with any questions, or requests for additional information.
