The Mississippi Miracle: How Mississippi Improved Reading Scores
We invite you to join us on Wednesday, June 17th at 12:00 PM (CDT) for an informational webinar delving into the “miraculous” improvement in reading and math scores in Mississippi.
The unprecedented improvements in fourth grade reading and math scores that occurred in Mississippi between 1998 and 2024, moving them from the worst in the country to among the highest, was labeled a “miracle.” State departments of education and individual districts are trying to figure out the secret to Mississippi’s success in hopes of emulating the results. However, the reality is far more complex than most might expect.
Douglas Carswell will explore the key innovations, difficult decisions, and unwavering commitment to systemic change that created Mississippi’s “miracle.”
