"Reality Check": Through law, policy and investment, Alabama is placing an unprecedented emphasis on raising the state’s level of educational attainment. The state has recognized that the cornerstone of economic competitiveness is providing a quality education for all Alabamians, which starts with literacy. PARCA’s research consistently finds a close correlation between educational achievement and measures of employment, income, health, and personal safety. The research also shows stubborn gaps in academic achievement between communities, gaps that must be acknowledged and addressed if progress is to be made.
"What’s the Scoop with the Alabama Literacy Act?"
In this session, participants will develop an initial understanding of the Alabama Literacy Act and its impact on classroom instruction, students’ growth and achievement, and teachers’ professional development. Participants will also increase their understanding of instructional strategies aligned to the Science of Reading, and how they relate to the Alabama Literacy Act.
