In this month's newsletter, explore spaces where educational leaders have improved the quality of literacy outcomes for students. Our spotlight features our partnership with Manor ISD in Texas, as they continued their work to implement high-quality instructional materials for ELA and reading. We highlight the urgent attempts that we and other educators are taking to help struggling older readers in our piece on the state of literacy today. Our newsletter ends with an opportunity to join us in February for our next webinar that helps you move beyond red, yellow, and green with your assessment data.
In partnership, ANet
Improving High-Quality Instructional Materials with Actionable Data
Learn about how one district has improved its literacy data in our latest partnership feature. Our three year district & system partnership with Manor ISD, through our selection as a technical assistance provider with the Texas Education Agency, has led to implementation of high-quality instructional materials for Manor's reading and ELA materials. Check out our showcase of how they align priorities and educator practices.
We know a lack of essential reading skills in adulthood translates to fewer career opportunities, lower wages, and a higher likelihood of unemployment. If our goal is to equip students for success in college, career, and life, it is imperative that they exit school as literate individuals. Is it too late to intervene and support older struggling readers? Learn more about how to help these older students!
