unlocking literacy for all: how clear creek isd planned and executed instructional change

nation-wide, building literacy in our children is a persistent challenge. so much of a challenge that according to the national assessment of educational progress, more than 60 percent of american fourth graders are not proficient readers. other research has shown that 95% of students are cognitively capable of reading proficiently, which indicates that lacking literacy isn’t the result of students’ capabilities; it’s the consequence of instruction failing to access and amplify students’ potential as readers and writers. the implications of this are serious. it’s often said that reading opens doors. for students who can’t read proficiently, many of those doors remain closed and the paths behind them go unexplored, so further opportunities to learn, grow, and achieve are rendered inaccessible.

rising student absenteeism: we need to change the way we do things

schools across the country are grappling with fewer students in classrooms, causing a ripple effect on learning, funding, and engagement. research shows that the number of chronically absent students has nearly doubled, from about 15 percent in the 2018-2019 school year to around 30 percent in 2021-2022. millions of students miss 10% of the school year or more—whether excused or unexcused—and substantial increases in chronic absenteeism were prevalent across every state that captures this data. the research results imply that an additional 6.5 million students became chronically absent in the ‘21-’22 school year, on top of the millions of students who were chronically absent before the pandemic. because of the correlation between attendance and learning, this uptick in absenteeism has grave consequences for student growth. in states like texas, where school funding is tied to attendance, it also creates financial constraints.
