Moving All Students Toward Reading Proficiency at Washington Elementary School

Washington Elementary School in Lamar, Colorado, made significant gains in reading achievement by working with CORE to support their English Language Arts professional learning. Not only did student scores improve, but CORE has also helped strengthen school culture around literacy instruction.
