State Personnel Development Grant
Develop a systematic, cohesive, collaborative, and sustainable evidence-based literacy model for struggling readers, especially students with specific learning disabilities, grades K-5. This system must use data driven decision making to ensure interventions and instruction are appropriate and effective. The use of evidence-based literacy strategies and strategies that support family engagement are also required pieces of this grant. Schools will be using the Multi-tiered System of Supports (MTSS) framework as well as instructional coaches to ensure fidelity and sustainability of the grant’s elements over time.
