The Maryland Initiative for Literacy & Equity (MILE) is harnessing research-to-practice partnerships in the fields of education, speech and language pathology, library sciences, policy, and community stakeholder outreach. These efforts are aimed at driving integrative research, both translational and basic, that is contextualized with respect to marginalized communities across race, culture, ethnicity, and language, as well as neurodiverse populations.
@MDLitEquity recently released key findings and recommendations from their comprehensive review of literacy instruction in public school districts across the state. With the ultimate goal of helping every Maryland student read and write proficiently, MILE focused their recommendations on literacy curriculum and instruction and tailored support for students with differing needs.
