Glean’s Manifesto

We Believe:

• Literacy is a civil right.
• All school leaders should have the resources and support to create systems that help their teachers and students thrive.
• All teachers should have the knowledge and tools to deliver explicit, systematic, cumulative, and sequential Structured Literacy instruction grounded in the science of reading research base. 
• All students can learn to read and write.

We are committed to:

• Supporting school leaders on their path to adopting practices grounded in the Science of Reading by building relationships that contribute to lasting change.
• Providing teachers with the knowledge and support they need to improve student literacy and make positive impacts in their communities.
• Meeting students where they are and helping their schools build the resources to get them where they need to be.

We want to live in a world where:

• School leaders make informed decisions about school improvement systems and have the knowledge base to create sustainable change.
• Teachers have access to resources needed to feel supported and confident in their teaching.
• Students experience learning conditions that allow them to reach their full potential.

We want nothing more than to:

• Transform the way public education systems approach literacy instruction and standardize research-based approaches that get all kids reading and writing.
• Help school systems run smoothly and optimize student literacy outcomes.

We care deeply about:

• The experience of school leaders. 
• The experience of educators.
• The experience of students.

We are crazy about:

• Building relationships with leaders to better understand their pain points and tailor our services to meet their unique needs.
• Coaching teachers on how to meet their students where they are, and get them to where they need to be.
• Designing and delivering best-in-class training experiences where educators feel respected, appreciated, and inspired.
• Translating research on effective literacy instruction to the field
