Michigan can reverse low literacy scores as other states have, but there must be consistency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was one of the takeaways from the most recent Bridge Michigan Lunch Break event, where panelists discussed Michigan\u2019s education system. Audience members asked panelists about test scores<\/a>, long-standing funding debates<\/a> and adopting reading practices<\/a> shown to have worked in other places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bridge Michigan education reporter Isabel Lohman led a discussion about the topic on Zoom with Adrea Truckenmiller, associate professor of special education at Michigan State University, Marguerite Roza, research professor at Georgetown University and director of the Edunomics Lab, and Beth Gonzalez, deputy superintendent of educational services at Wayne Regional Educational Service Agency. They were joined by Bridge reporters Ron French and Mike Wilkinson.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you missed the virtual conversation, you can watch it here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
