coe-staff: New grant for the Morocco National Program for Reading project, congratulations Sylvia Thompson and CTL colleagues!

[Leslie Leve]

Dear COE faculty and staff,

Congratulations to Sylvia Thompson and Patrick Kennedy for receipt of a new grant from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to support the successful implementation of the Reading for Success - National Program for Reading Project in Morocco.

The objective of this 5-year grant is to expand USAID/Morocco’s efforts to support the Moroccan Ministry of Education in improving reading and writing outcomes for children in grades 1-4. The project activities will be carried out in partnership with the Moroccan Ministry of Education to build their capacity to (a) develop and disseminate effective, evidence-based Arabic language curriculum and instructional materials; (b) design and deliver professional development programs to education personnel to improve teaching skills; and (c) develop, administer, and disseminate results of early reading assessments, to better monitor student progress.

The work will occur in the COE’s Center on Teaching and Learning and adds to the COE’s growing portfolio of international research and implementation activities underway in several of our centers and institutes, including the Center for Equity Promotion.

Please join me in congratulating Sylvia, Patrick, and the CTL research team on this outstanding new project!

Leslie
