The Michigan Department of Education (MDE) received a 5-year $16 Million award for the Comprehensive Literacy State Development Grant from the U. S. Department of Education. The first year of funding totals $3,175,598 which will be dispersed to five subgrantee Local Educational Agencies (LEAs) to build an educational and professional development literacy system to serve children and students from Birth to Grade 12. This award will specifically focus on high-need, geographically diverse LEAs located in Qualified Opportunity Zones. The local literacy plans will be created in accordance with a Statewide comprehensive literacy plan. The five LEA subgrantees selected for this project will improve literacy outcomes for all students and reduce disparities for underrepresented groups including those who are economically-disadvantaged, English Language Learners, and students with disabilities. The project leverages numerous existing organizations, groups, and resources to streamline delivery of literacy instruction and increase implementation of evidence-based practices. The result will be an effective and sustainable Statewide system of support. The project objectives include an annual increase in student literacy proficiency of at least 5%, or maintenance of a high level of performance (80% of students at or above benchmark), for Pre-K - Grade 12 students in 80% of participating LEAs.
MDE staff hosted an informational webinar at 11 a.m. on November 17, 2020. The webinar provided information and answered questions on the application process.
