Parkinson, Julia; Meakin, John; Salinger, Terry – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2015
Student achievement in literacy has been a focal concern in the United States for many years. Improving teachers' knowledge and skill that leads to improved student achievement, particularly in the early grades, can place children on an improved trajectory that can have long-term impacts on life outcomes. Over the past decade, a large body of…
