Located just outside of Rochester, New York, Greece Central School District is one of the largest suburban school districts in the state, serving a richly diverse student population across 17 schools.
With more than 70 languages spoken by students and families, the district’s educators face a daily challenge: how to meet each learner’s needs while building inclusive, engaging classrooms. For Greece’s language teachers, differentiation isn’t optional—it’s essential.
That’s why the district turned to Mote, and specifically to the new Read Aloud feature in Mote 2.0, as a transformative tool in supporting multilingual learners.
By enabling automated, human-like text-to-speech across Google Docs, Slides, and Forms, Mote’s Read Aloud helps students access content independently—whether they’re learning English or another world language. Teachers can now embed read-aloud prompts in assessments, model pronunciation, and support listening comprehension activities—all within the tools they already use.
Lynn Girolamo, an Instructional Technologist at GCSD shared:
"I love the easy-to-use accessible format of Mote for teachers and students! Having it integrated in our Google Workspace tools makes it an even more powerful tool with so many simple applications!"
What sets Mote apart is how easily it fits into the classroom workflow. Teachers report quick adoption, thanks to its intuitive Chrome extension, and students feel empowered by the autonomy it provides. With built-in transcription and translation in 40+ languages, Mote meets students where they are—while helping them grow.
Greece Central’s embrace of Mote reflects a broader commitment to equity and access. By integrating Mote into language instruction, the district is removing barriers to learning and amplifying student voice.
