Supported by the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE), Center of Excellence in Leadership of Learning (CELL) at the University of Indianapolis, and the Center for Vibrant Schools at Marian University, the Indiana Literacy Cadre is working to help Indiana’s students read proficiently by the end of third grade.

To achieve this mission, the Indiana Literacy Cadre develops and implements collaborative professional development for K-3* educators across the state based on the science of reading, a compilation of evidence-based research on reading, reading development, and reading instruction.
