This is the 2nd webinar in the 2024 Spotlight series. Over the last decade, Mississippi has passed laws focusing on education reform from Pre-Kindergarten to higher education. Although passing a law is the first step, implementation is key. Learn how the tireless efforts of literacy leaders, teachers, students, and families transformed policy into practice that led to unprecedented gains in reading achievement, improving from 50th to 21st in the nation.
Dr. Kymyona Burk supports states pursuing a comprehensive approach to K-3 reading policy by assisting state leaders in building new or improving existing K-3 reading policies, with a heavy focus on supporting successful policy implementation.
