Maryland Schools Push for Reading and Math Gains | Washington DC News

Maryland’s education department is launching bold new strategies to turn around student performance in reading and math, following sobering assessment results. With revamped instructional materials, teacher training, and a major push for school leadership, the state is investing in transformational principals through the Maryland School Leadership Academy—already empowering 500 leaders and now accepting new applicants. Parents are also getting powerful new literacy guides to support learning at home. Advocates call it a “reading crisis,” but remain hopeful as Superintendent Carey Wright rebuilds systems to ensure every student thrives.
