Abstract: The Department of
Education’s Institute for Education
Sciences has commissioned this
evaluation as a response to the current
need for experimental research about
the impacts of adolescent literacy
programs on reading and academic
outcomes of struggling readers. This
study focuses on literacy across the
curriculum intervention that
emphasizes literacy instruction
throughout a high school student’s day.
High school students from diverse types
of school districts across at least two of
the states in the Midwest region will be
tested in literacy and other student
achievement data will be collected from
school records. Classroom instruction
will be observed throughout the course
of the intervention. District and building
administrators will be interviewed
about the intervention and the need for
large-scale district and school reform in
literacy instruction.

The Clearinghouse was developed to
support implementation of the Final
Water Quality Guidance for the Great
Lakes System (GLI). Data from the
Clearinghouse can be shared among
States and Tribes to assist them in
developing or updating numeric water
quality standards and guidance values
for the protection of aquatic life, human
health, and wildlife. In particular, States
and Tribes can use the information in
the Clearinghouse to help derive criteria
for pollutants without specific numeric
criteria published in the GLI (40 CFR
Part 132).
Data in the Clearinghouse can be
viewed online or downloaded in
spreadsheet format. The Clearinghouse
includes PDF versions of ‘‘fact sheets,’’
which provide methodology
information on how State agencies and
USEPA derive criteria and guidance
values. The Clearinghouse also includes
links to GLI-related documents,
including Federal Register notices and
technical support documents, as well as
formulas that allow users to calculate
criteria according to GLI methodologies.
