On Tuesday, Mayor Joe Hogsett announced an initiative to expand literacy throughout the city through high-dosage tutoring. The initiative is a partnership between the city, local organizations, IPS and Warren Township.
The initiative is a partnership with the Mayor’s office, the City-County Council, RISE INDY, Indianapolis Public Schools and MSD Warren Township.
The program will serve 1,000 students in grades K-3 within IPS, public charter schools and Warren Township. “We are proud to participate in Circle City Readers because we know that the additional high-dosage literacy tutoring support will not only strengthen reading comprehension, it will also boost confidence and build important learning skills in our students,” Indianapolis Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Aleesia Johnson said. “This initiative aligns with our district’s literacy focus and our goal of creating equitable access for all students, including our most vulnerable scholars.
The initiative was brought to Indianapolis by RISE INDY, an education advocacy organization, after seeing successful implementation of similar programs in Oakland, California. The goal of the program is to increase literacy as part of building a better city, spurred on by partnership between public and nonprofit entities. The programming for Circle City Readers will be designed and researched by RISE INDY in collaboration with the Mayor’s Office of Education Innovation.
