At the open meeting on August 20,
the Committee considered the
performance data collected from all
states and discussed how that data
should be reviewed. The Committee
created a subcommittee to begin looking
at the data and determined that the full
Committee would discuss analysis of
the data at a public meeting on October
15 and 16.
During this meeting, staff from the
Department’s offices of Policy and
Program Studies Service and Institute of
Education Sciences will brief the
Committee on their current evaluations
of the Reading First program. The
meeting will be attended by one or more
statisticians who will work with the
Committee to answer questions about
the data. The Committee expects to
establish topics that can be researched
further using the data that is currently
available, as well as a timeline for
completing the review of the third-year
progress reports. The Committee may
also discuss longer-term research topics
and ways to improve data collected in
the future.
