The RIM Aspire School Literacy Program partners with elementary schools and early childhood centers in underserved areas to bring arts-enriched literacy training and resources to PreK–3rd Grade teachers. Our program provides innovative coaching and unique services designed to inspire learning and growth in the classroom.
Our core curriculum is designed to support teachers by accommodating different teaching styles and environments. It provides evidence-based methods that can be tailored to meet students' unique needs and carried forward into future classrooms. The curriculum covers all five essential components of early reading instruction:
Training: New teachers start with an intensive one-day Summer Institute, learning to deliver the RIM Aspire curriculum effectively. Additional training is provided in the fall and spring to extend their development throughout the school year. Teachers also have access to a wealth of professional development workshops and CEUs through our RIM Aspire Learning Management System.
Tools: Teachers receive the full RIM Aspire curriculum and access to an all-inclusive Learning Management System. This includes thousands of lesson plans in English and Spanish, audio and video lessons for teachers and students, engagement opportunities for all types of learners, student data tracking, assessment tools, and a hub for parents and caregivers. We also provide original songs and drama scripts to boost student engagement and excitement about reading. Coaching: Our coaches offer various levels of classroom support, meeting one-on-one with teachers for approximately 45 hours throughout the 32-week program. They help evaluate student reading data, adjust instruction, model best practices, and provide constructive feedback.
Since 2020, we have adapted and expanded our curriculum to virtual and hybrid learning environments, making RIM Aspire accessible to educators anywhere. Coaching is available virtually, in person, or through a combination of both, on a schedule that suits each educator’s needs.
