Findings from Recent Rigorous Adolescent Literacy Studies
(Webinar)
REL Midwest, in collaboration with REL Northwest, offered two webinars for practitioners involved in the field of adolescent literacy. The goal of the webinars was to promote awareness of the key findings from recent randomized controlled trial studies of adolescent literacy programs sponsored by IES and to discuss the implications of these studies with practitioners who are responsible for the planning, implementation, or support of adolescent literacy initiatives. Featured were William Corrin, Ph.D., deputy director, K–12 Education Policy Area at MDRC; Vicki Nishioka, Ph.D., senior research associate, Education Northwest; Kathryn Drummond, Ph.D., director, Education Policy Improvement Center; Jim Lindsay, Ph.D., senior researcher, REL Midwest; and Richard Smiley, Ph.D., senior research associate, Education Northwest.
