CCSSO’s Early Learning Networked Improvement Community (NIC) supports states to implement evidence-based practices in early math and literacy in PreK – Grade 3. To do this, CCSSO convened a group of state teams, content experts in early literacy and math as well as experts in improving the conditions for systems change to identify how evidence-based practices could be implemented inside the classroom.
One of the methods used is improvement science, a problem-solving approach centered on continuous inquiry and learning. This video puts a spotlight on how state teams used improvement science and other methods to better support teachers in literacy and math instruction for early learners.
