Join us in celebrating these outstanding teachers who are shaping the future—one brilliant mind at a time!
Our teachers and parents also benefit from Footsteps2Brilliance’s comprehensive tools and resources, which allow them to monitor progress and tailor instruction to meet individual needs. This collaborative effort between educators, families, and the community creates a supportive learning environment that empowers our students to thrive academically and socially.
I like the easy to follow organization of their progression through the steps. It makes it easy for the students to see their own progress and remain motivated to finish each “train”.
“I am thrilled to share how the Footsteps2Brilliance program has impacted our students’ educational experience by teaching early learning skills in both English and Spanish. This innovative program aligns seamlessly with our existing teaching resources, such as World of Wonders and Wonders, to create a comprehensive and enriching learning environment.”

Las Cruces Public Schools’ (LCPS) 2024-2029 strategic plan:
Where All Learners Thrive prioritizes high-quality early literacy instruction. As part of this effort, LCPS launched a Head Start initiative to strengthen foundational skills, particularly for bilingual learners.

In partnership with Footsteps2Brilliance, Greenville ISD launched Rally Round Reading in 2018, a community-wide bilingual early literacy initiative for all children in Greenville, ages birth through 3rd grade. Engagement with the program grew rapidly and the district experienced a positive impact on kindergarten readiness and3rd grade reading after only a few months.
Two schools in LAUSD partnered with Footsteps2Brilliance (F2B) to pilot a bilingual literacy program, Dayton Heights and State Street schools. This initiative aligned with district objectives to create consistency across Early Education Centers (EECs), increase parental engagement, support English and Spanish learners, report on DRDP-aligned skills, and provide a scalable model for success district-wide.
