Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 46378 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 104 / Wednesday, May 29, 2024 / Notices comprehension strategies, and learning curricular content from texts (Chall, 1983; Goldman & Snow, 2015). For students without the fundamental skills to read fluently, decode accurately, and comprehend text, the more advanced literacy practices needed for secondary content acquisition and text reading can be out of reach. Students who struggle with reading at the middle school level often have limited ability to access curricular content aligned to grade-level standards in English language arts and other subject areas (Torgesen et al., 2007) and may experience adverse educational outcomes with respect to attendance (Fisher & Frey, 2014), graduation rates (Daniel et al., 2006), and mental health (Daniel et al., 2006; Mugnaini et al., 2009). The purpose of this evaluation is to test the efficacy of the Providing Reading Interventions for Students in Middle School Toolkit, or the PRISMS Toolkit. This toolkit supports the application of evidence-based recommendations from the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Providing Reading Interventions for Students in Grades 4–9 Educator’s Practice Guide (hereafter, practice guide; Vaughn et al., 2022) through a suite of professional development activities. We anticipate that the toolkit will impact teacher knowledge, self-efficacy, and instructional practice. These changes in teacher knowledge, beliefs, and practice, in turn, will positively impact student outcomes, including student engagement, as measured by student engagement in reading and school attendance, and reading proficiency. The evaluation team plans to conduct an independent evaluation using a school-level, cluster randomized control trial design to assess the program’s impact on teachers’ practices and beliefs and students’ engagement and literacy outcomes. The evaluation will also assess the implementation of the toolkit and how it may be effectively scaled. The evaluation will take place in 52 schools across an estimated 10 districts in Texas and will focus on teachers and students in grade 6–8. The evaluation will produce a report and presentations to study participants, practitioners, policymakers, and researchers, and infographics and blog posts for a wider audience of educators and policymakers. These will be designed to inform district and school leaders and teachers about reading interventions that could be beneficial for all students in grade 6–8, but particularly those who are reading below grade level expectations.
