The Montana Story: Providing Support to Frontier Communities Through State Oversight, Embedded Coaching, and Community Engagement
Center on Innovation and Improvement released a new Promising Practices paper. As state education agency budgets decrease, state education leaders must develop strategies to do more with fewer resources. Leaders must determine which strategies and supports are the most effective for schools in improvement, how to build capacity with fewer staff at the district and state levels, and how to best communicate with individual schools and districts.
New and Experienced Teachers in a School Reform Initiative: The Example of Reading First
REL Northwest completed a study comparing the experiences and perceptions of new and experienced teachers in 235 schools in six western states (Alaska, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, Washington, and Wyoming) that have adopted the Reading First school reform initiative. Using previously collected data from surveys and interviews, the study considers four areas of the reform initiative for bringing all K–3 students up to grade level in reading by grade 3: instructional coaches, teacher collaboration, use of student assessment data, and support for reform.
