Every Child a Reader and Writer was established in the fall of 2000 as a joint venture between selected Silicon Valley school districts and the Noyce Foundation. The shared goal for this initiative was the improvement of literacy instruction in all elementary classrooms. Working together, the districts and Noyce have sought to develop strengthened literacy knowledge and leadership capacity within each of the districts with the aim of gradually releasing responsibility for the program to the participating districts. The districts and Noyce are currently working to accomplish this transition.
As always the foundation tries to disseminate our work. Tools and records of practice are available here. We particularly draw your attention to Inside Teaching: multi-media records of practice.
