at the start of this year, several state leaders kicked off the year with strong commitments of money and resources to improve literacy in their schools through the immediate implementation of evidence-based reading instruction, often referred to as the “science of reading.” the governors of new york and maryland offered guidelines, not mandates, for school districts to focus on adopting reading instruction practices and materials that are evidence-based. in january, the maryland state board of education approved a resolution declaring that all public schools align with the science of reading by the 2024-2025 school year but delayed these plans due to extensive revisions finalizing its comprehensive science of reading policy on october 22, 2024. with this, maryland joins 39 other states and the district of columbia that have committed to aligning with the science of reading over the past ten years. these states’ goals are overarchingly the same, but their plans, timelines, and benchmarks differ. what do they need to consider and include to be successful in improving student reading outcomes?

in one of our recent blogs, we noted that some teachers list “weak or uninspiring leadership” as a reason they are leaving their positions. those who feel strongly that they are not supported by their school administration are at high risk of calling it quits. if we are relying on school leaders and building administrators to reverse this trend, we need to make sure we are equipping them with the skills they need to recognize, develop, motivate, and support teacher growth and development. for many district leaders, summer offers a perfect window to focus on aspects of their own growth and development.

implementing personalized learning across an entire school district is an ambitious undertaking. it requires a dedicated investment of time and resources, but the potential benefits for student learning are undeniable. one of the biggest challenges is prioritizing thoughtful professional development for educators amid many competing priorities in districts. our team faced this challenge while partnering with the manchester shortsville central school district in new york. manchester is a rural district located near rochester, serving approximately 700 students across pk-12th grade. we had been working with a dedicated group of teachers for over a year, and their team was eager to expand the program to a wider range of educators. in closing feedback, one teacher wrote, “i found the time we had to bounce ideas off each other to be beneficial. learning about what my colleagues are doing in the classrooms was eye opening. i am always looking to learn from them.” as a result, the red jacket team engaged our 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 (ee) team to work with the whole middle and high school teams. unfortunately, finding dates that worked for everyone proved difficult.
