Mississippi's education miracle: A model for global literacy reform

Phys Org
Summary
Nutrition label

89% Informative

As of 2023 , Mississippi ranks among the top 20 for fourth grade reading, a significant leap from 49th-place ranking in 2013 .

This transformation was driven by evidence-based policy reforms focused on early literacy and teacher development.

When students struggle, their academic performance declines and that leads to lower test scores.

The Mississippi literacy project focuses on teaching at the right level, which focuses on assessing children's actual learning levels and then tailoring instruction to meet them, rather than strictly following age- or grade-level curriculum. Teaching at the right level and a scripted lesson plan are among the most effective strategies to address the global learning crisis. After the World Bank reviewed over 150 education programs in 2020 , nearly half showed no learning benefit. I believe Mississippi 's progress, despite being the second -poorest state, can serve as a wake-up call. Provided by The Conversation.
