Read 180 Evaluation

The Milwaukee Public School’s READ 180 evaluation aims to provide information to the district about the effectiveness of the READ 180 intervention. Evaluators are working with the district to prepare the necessary steps for a randomized trial. In addition, they are investigating the fidelity of implementation of Read 180 to gain further information on the effects of Read 180 on students’ academic achievement. In particular, they are investigating MPS’s alignment to the intended program structure, materials and instruction.
