What We Do and Why It Matters: A Look Inside Literacy Lightbulb
Is your school doing its best—but still feeling stuck?
Are your teachers trying everything they can—but students aren’t growing the way you hoped?
We get it. At Literacy Lightbulb™, we help educators move from frustration to clarity.
This month, we’re sharing what it means to truly partner with schools and districts. From literacy audits to after-school programming, we don’t just offer services—we offer solutions.
Let’s kick off June with an inside look at how we help educators and students thrive.
AI in Classrooms: Innovation or Inequity?
When used well, AI can enhance instruction. However, if equity isn’t built into implementation, we risk deepening existing gaps. Every tool is only as good as the systems and educators behind it.
Teacher Shortages and State-Level Pay Reforms
Hiring is just the beginning. The challenge is creating the kind of professional environment where great teachers want to stay. That’s how we ensure instructional quality and student success across the board.
Debates Over Public vs. Private School Funding
We must ask: Are voucher expansions solving inequity—or shifting it? If we want all students to thrive, then public education must be equipped, not just emptied.
What Happens When We Remove Equity from Education
Equity Is Not Optional. Removing the acronym doesn’t remove the responsibility. Equity isn’t a trend or a talking point—it’s foundational to effective instruction, student engagement, and institutional success. When we lose sight of that, we risk making school harder for the very students we’re trying to reach.
