The Shari K. Most Institute for Student Success

Thanks to the generosity of Shelby and Brock Berry, the Most Institute for Student Success was established in January 2025, strengthening student support by expanding services in executive functioning, English literacy, and gifted & talented education. It’s designed to help students develop the skills they need to succeed—inside and outside the classroom. The Berry family’s support made it possible to hire staff, add training and resources, and reach more students than ever before.

Teacher referrals are needed for Lower Primary support, for executive function challenges, or deficits in reading and math. Learning Support Team assessments identify students in need, providing customized services. Parent-provided neuropsychological evaluations are also considered for tailored support.

It’s named in honor of Shari K. Most, a dedicated student support specialist whose guidance transformed the life of one ISDenver family. Their journey through their child’s learning challenges inspired them to ensure that ISDenver students have access to these essential resources – creating a lasting legacy and long-term learning opportunity for our bilingual learners.
