Join Students of Color in Public Policy (SCPP) for a discussion on the importance of diverse backgrounds in public policy and within the classroom.

This roundtable is tailored to inspire and equip future policymakers with real-world insights into peacebuilding, resilience, and the practicalities of diplomatic work amidst conflict.

In this presentation, Dr. Wright will share findings from three studies focused on the implementation of Michigan’s Read by Grade Three Law. The first study examines the implementation of literacy coaching in Michigan, the second study focuses on literacy curriculum materials used in elementary classrooms, and the third study examines literacy instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. Together these studies help us to understand the implementation of a state-wide literacy policy and to consider some of the unforeseen challenges associated with its implementation.
