We joined @MMSDschools leaders to hear about a MEP sponsored project led by Nicole Louie (Advancing Equity in Middle School Mathematics). The team shared what has been learned during year one and where the work is headed next year. Excited for the next stages of this work!
@MEP_WCER sponsored a project led by @profm_de_r , titled Preparing Culturally Relevant, Anti-racist Secondary Teachers. The research team has been collecting data and learning from our amazing educators in @MMSDschools and today we got to discuss and learn together!
Our partners in Madison Metropolitan School District piloted an expansion of 4K (four-year-old kindergarten) from a half-day to full-day program. We looked closely at how this impacted the program's reach and effects on learning.
The Madison Education Partnership study covered the first year of MMSD's full-day 4K program, which expanded access to more families. captimes.com/news/education/…
