A recent report<\/a> from the Maine Education Policy Research Institute<\/a> (MEPRI) that found only nine of 58 Maine schools surveyed were using reading instructional programs aligned with high quality standards was cited in a Bangor Daily News<\/a> article this week. According to the article, Maine students\u2019 proficiency scores in math and reading as measured by the National Assessment of Education Progress have declined in recent years. The results of the assessment were highlighted in a recent report<\/a> from the Annie E. Casey Foundation and the Maine Children\u2019s Alliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MEPRI is a partnership between the University of Maine College of Education and Human Development and the University of Southern Maine established by the Maine Legislature in 1995 to provide policymakers, including the legislature\u2019s Joint Standing Committee on Education and Cultural Affairs and the Maine Department of Education, with objective data, policy research and evaluation of educational needs, services and impacts in Maine\u2019s PreK\u201312 schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it is not mentioned in the Bangor Daily News article, the MEPRI report found that a majority (89%) of schools surveyed were using a math instructional program aligned with high-quality standards. MEPRI\u2019s report was co-authored by Senior Research Analyst Patricia Lech, 91르적 Associate Professor of Education and MEPRI Co-Director Janet Fairman, and Suzanne Nadeau, an interdisciplinary Ph.D. student at 91르적 and teaching assistant in the College of Education and Human Development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
