Seymour Communty Schools Is part of the second cohort for the Indiana Department of Education's Early Literacy Cadre.  

SCSC's work with the Early Literacy Cadre is supported by theCenter of Excellence in Leadership of Learning (CELL)at the University of Indianapolis and the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE), 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-2 educators across the state based on the Science of Reading, a compilation of evidence-based research on reading, reading development, and reading instruction.

Participation in the Cadre enables Seymour Schools to train three instructional coaches to work with teachers in primary grades.  They focus on development of phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.Cc
