13. Most Recent GLR Communities MAP SLIDE

14. An Inconvenient Truth
A large and growing number of kids are falling beyond the reach of schools.

15. 24/7/365
“Children who are falling beyond the reach of schools need systems that can assure 24/7/365 two-generation supports and interventions. Schools are not 24, not 7, not 365 and rarely two generation.”
-- Toward Closing the Gap(s)”

16. Gaps Persist
“At present, double-digit gaps persist and co-exist with good progress in every state and almost every GLR community.”
-- Midpoint Snapshot

17. The Needle is Moving
186 Network communities in 32 states plus the U.S. Virgin Islands report measurable progress on improving school readiness, school attendance, summer learning and/or grade-level reading for low-income children.
-- Closing the Gap(s)

18. No Single Program
“Today, we still do not know of any single program that, on its own, is sufficiently powerful to close the reading proficiency gap by even one standard deviation, let alone two, at a population level — even over time and even if fully scaled up.”
-- Closing the Gap(s)

19. Lunch at the Library: California to Georgia to North Carolina
Talk with me Baby: Georgia to Arizona to Iowa
Data mapping tool: Arizona to Denver to Colorado
Walking School Bus: Springfield, Massachusetts to Oakland

20. “Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius,
power and magic in it.”
—J.W. von Goethe
Double down on school readiness, attendance/chr onic absence and summer learning
