Current Projects
Project LASER
The Linking Academic Success with Early Reading First (LASER) Project endeavors to develop five early childhood education centers of excellence in Hillsborough County, Florida.
Using scientifically based reading research Project LASER will improve these programs by:
- Creating and designing literacy, language and print-rich classroom environments
- Implementing structured, continuous and on-going professional development programs that will be sustained, intensive, and classroom-focused and will include strategies such as using certified Bilingual, Cross-cultural, Language and Academic Development (BCLAD) instructors, mentors and coaches and progressive pedagogy in special education, bi-literacy, comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing
- Fostering collaboration between home and school to advance students' cognition and early reading skill growth and development using State-aligned, scientifically based reading researched curricula and age/developmentally appropriate instruction that embeds literacy and language across academic experiences
- Using screening assessments and progress monitoring to identify and work with children who may be at risk for delayed development or reading failure and design goals and objectives to meet their needs
- Building on current preschool and elementary school transition practices by supporting and promoting continuity of instruction between these preschools and the school district's elementary schools
Project LASER will serve those students who are most at risk of early academic failure in the reading, language arts/literacy, technology, and math disciplines or have language barriers or inequitable access to resources that would otherwise enable their success. These students have shown negligible progress in the lowest 25% of the student population in the target disciplines by grade 3 (CCD data 2001-02).
The measurable goals are to increase outcomes in these areas while improving overall center and staff quality to accreditation levels. Progress will be validated by the use of Individual Development and Educational Plans (IDEPs), integrated pre and post level assessments, system driven progress, skill level reporting, an educationally based Balanced Scorecard to measure, benchmark and improve outcomes and the attainment of a national accreditation. Project LASER is uniquely designed to target and positively effect long-term, sustainable systemic gains - thus ensuring early educational excellence.
