Tech Joins Lead in Literacy Network
College of Education & Human Sciences
We are proud to announce that Tennessee Tech participates as one of four Educator Preparation Programs in the Lead In Literacy Network.
“Tech’s College of Education & Human Sciences has historically championed literacy and reading comprehension skills in all academic disciplines in our educator preparation programs,” said Lisa Zagumny, Dean. “Our dedicated faculty excel in creating meaningful and research-based experiences for emerging educators.”
The network is convened by the State Collaborative on Reforming Education (SCORE), a non-partisan, non-profit organization with a mission to bring about transformative change in Tennessee education so all students can achieve success.
This group of four Educator Preparation Providers (EPPs) and four Local Education Agencies (LEAs) are working together to develop solutions for increasing access to strong early literacy/reading instruction for all students in the state.
Other network EPPs include Belmont, Lipscomb, and the University of Tennessee.
Together EPP and LEA partners work to:
1) construct a shared/comprehensive vision for literacy instruction;
2) build EPP candidate literacy knowledge, skills, and high-quality instructional materials;
3) ensure best practices from these efforts improve support for both multi-lingual and neuro-diverse learners.
