Carondelet Announces Groves Literacy Partnership for the 2020-2021 School Year

(May 19, 2020)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Carondelet Catholic School is excited to announce our partnership with Groves Academy in the Believe & Read program beginning in the fall of 2020.

The initiative, made possible by the Catholic Schools Center for Excellence (CSCOE), is a 3-year program that transforms literacy instruction for all readers through outstanding professional development and teacher coaching.

Under CSCOE’s current Believe and Read model, Groves literacy coaches spend time alongside K-2 teachers for 30 minutes a week to help emerging readers and build relationships with the teachers, so that by the end of the first year, the teachers are implementing the program, adding grade 3 the following year. 

“The people at Groves are experts in the literacy field, not just locally but nationally, and they work well within the Catholic school environment where we address the whole child — body, mind and spirit,” said Gail Dorn, CSCOE president.

We are grateful to CSCOE for securing the funding for this program and selecting Carondelet as a partner school starting in the fall of 2020. We believe the initiative will be a great enhancement to our existing literacy program.
