Our Purpose
The Center of Literacy Excellence was created to elevate teacher knowledge on the latest research related to assessment, curriculum, instruction and advocacy. Through their internships and classroom teaching experiences, participants will apply what they learn throughout schools in the Lowcountry to maximize impacts on student achievement.
The center includes a dyslexia program designed to help teachers, counselors and school administrators better understand and support learners with dyslexia, regardless of the timeline of their diagnosis, through research-based, specific teacher training.
Addressing the needs of all students is a cornerstone of our practice in the Zucker Family School of Education. We recognize that literacy challenges can plague us all at various points in our development, so we wanted to take on one of the greatest challenges in education – creating systems of sustainable change in support of educators and their PK-12 students’ literacy achievement and career readiness.
Thank You to Our Donors
This center, made possible through a generous donation from Wes and Betsy Fuller, supports the professional development of pre-school through 12th grade (PK-12) educators to meet the diverse needs of students including English as a Second Language learners and others with exceptionalities.
