Learning from a Comprehensive Approach to Adolescent Literacy
Cal Hastings, Generation Ready’s Senior Director of Adolescent Literacy, reflects on a comprehensive approach that he spearheaded to improve the literacy results of approximately 90 New York City middle grades schools in his white paper: Learning from a Comprehensive Approach to Adolescent Literacy.
As the former head of the Middle School Quality Initiative, Cal was tasked to plan and implement a large-scale initiative to support schools with high need populations in meeting the challenge to build the reading skills of their students to ensure high school, college and career success. In this white paper, you will learn the statistics showing the significant difference that still remains between the academic knowledge and skills required to graduate, and those necessary for postsecondary success, as well as learn about one possible solution to improve these outcomes.
