Our Story.
All but one of the Celtic Languages were designated by UNESCO as endangered in the late 1900s. Ten out of the sixteen languages have already been lost. Irish Gaelic, however, is experiencing a revival - a thoughtfully planned revival. Children in Irish Primary Schools learn the language developmentally, parents and guardians attend classes to be able to speak the language with their children, language learning apps offer free, online instruction, and the cultural touchstones of song, literature, and rituals are woven into the daily lives of the Irish community. Litearthacht (Irish Gaelic for literacy) is alive and engaging new learners.
​
Literacy in the US is by no means endangered - but it could benefit from a bit of a revival. Thoughtful planning would engage students, teachers, and the community in proficient reading, writing, speaking and listening.
Let Litearthacht Partners assist in that thoughtful planning for your school or district.
Our Services.
With as much change as we have undergone in the last 4 years and will most likely in this upcoming school year, we haven't had time to pause and reflect in order to plan. Let Litearthacht Partner serve as your literacy concierge to meet the needs of your students, staff, and community. Together we can:
Reflect.
What truly is the written and unwritten curriculum of your building? When juxtaposed with your data, how should instructional time and programming be prioritized? How can we maximize achievement and engagement?
Let Litearthacht Partners audit your current literacy ecosystem to ascertain how it is meeting student need and how best to move forward.
Plan.
Does your 2024-2025 Professional Learning Plan involve the voice and choice of your teachers? Do your vendors know the needs well enough to customize PL sessions for you? How will the plan be monitored for transfer into the classroom?
Let Litearthacht Partners develop and implement a professional learning plan to build buy-in, knowledge, and skills to improve student achievement. We will also coordinate with your vendor partners to ensure relevant professional learning for your building.
Extend.
Do you have enough coaching resources to assist your team? Do you have parent/guardian workshops to explain pedagogy and engage the community?
Let Litearthacht Partners extend your current plans to increase your ability for personalized coaching and community outreach.
