The Mississippi Department of Education’s Office of Elementary Education and Reading, Division of Literacy, would like to celebrate Mississippi educators through an annual recognition of Emerging Science of Reading Schools. Application deadline is Feb. 16.
This recognition is for schools that have trained teachers in the science of reading, exemplified a change of instructional practices, and embodied a school culture that focuses on building skillful, strong readers in kindergarten through grade three.
Mississippi educators share a deep commitment to supporting student literacy gains, which includes dedicated participation in science of reading professional learning courses. Schools that have previously been recognized must re-apply each year.
For questions contact Kristen Wynn, kwells@mdek12.org.
