AED is conducting a four-and-a-half-year study of the Mississippi Learning Institute, a collaboration among Jackson State University, the Jackson Public Schools (JPS), and the Mississippi State Department of Education (MSDOE) to improve reading programs and reading outcomes in the city’s public schools. AED is studying both the process through which the partnership achieves its goals and the following outcomes: 1) university curriculum and organization and student teacher knowledge of reading theory and practice; 2) the quality and impact of professional development developed by the university, JPS, and MSDOE; 3) changes in classroom practice related to the improvement of reading and changes in school outcomes; 4) the school district’s efforts to support and sustain professional development and classroom practices emerging from this initiative; and 5) the achievement of students in schools where these services are targeted.
