Literacy Rising in Mississippi
During this session, two key players share the long view of literacy in Mississippi and how this work CAN be replicated to raise literacy achievement for all students.
In this webinar, Mississippi changemakers Dr. Kymyona Burk, senior policy fellow at ExcelinEd, and Kelly Butler, CEO of the Barksdale Reading Institute share the roadmap for achieving literacy success in Mississippi.
Highlights include:
- Taking a closer look at the state’s long view implementation timeline including strategic policies, resources, outcomes (NAEP data), and next steps.
- Examining what professional learning needs to look like to transform instruction.
- Creating a cohesive plan to move all stakeholders in the same direction including state policy makers, teacher training, higher education, district and building leaders, classroom teachers, families, and communities.
Learning more about Mississippi’s literacy success was inspiring and motivating! I loved seeing the detailed timeline with specific steps and the data that supported this multi-faceted approach to get everyone moving in the right direction to improve reading outcomes for all students.
