More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The purpose of the current report is to synthesize 11 previous Center for Evaluation & Education Policy (CEEP) project reports in order to provide a comprehensive overview of Early Literacy Intervention Grant Program (ELIGP) implementation and effectiveness. Information presented in this report draws from CEEP involvement across eight years of the grant program and includes data on financial aspects of the program, its impact on schools, and select student outcomes. Results regarding specific initiatives are detailed briefly, and conclusions are drawn regarding benefits generated by the grant and which students appear to gain most from the initiatives. Taken together, these cumulative findings lead to a number of implications and recommendations which conclude the report. This report focuses on interventions in Grades 1-3, because that has been the primary focus of the ELIGP grant across its life. Findings indicate that ELIGP has had a considerable impact on literacy education in Indiana, serving more than 10,000 students per year and over 700 schools since 1997.

While analysis across the eight years of the grant is complex, due in part to the variability in interventions chosen each year of the grant, data generally links funding to improvements in areas of teacher professional development, lower grade retention, decreased special education referrals, and increased student achievement.
