Discover how Plymouth-Canton Community Schools used the pilot program to measure the impact of using Read&Write in the school district.
Challenge
Plymouth-Canton Community Schools is the fourth largest district in Michigan, with 18,000 students spread across 14 elementary schools, 5 middle schools and 4 high schools.
The large student population coupled with a diverse range of learning needs, led district leaders to search for a solution to help close the achievement gap for IEP, ELL and students who don’t receive support but who may be struggling.
Solution
Their search led them to Read&Write, where initially they selected a 90 day district-wide pilot to encourage use amongst all students, staff and teachers.
At the same time, the district also decided to purchase a group license of Read&Write for use with 150 of their Special Education Students.
Outcome
Access to the free features of Read&Write was maintained post-pilot for all other students as a way for Plymouth-Canton to minimize any stigma for their Special Education students.
The decision to purchase Read&Write across the district would ultimately be based on its proven ability to help every student, so usage had to be measured across all students, not just sub groups.
Results
- 10 percentile growth vs 1.4 percentile growth at the control school
- The sample group also saw additional gains after using the full suite of Read&Write tools between the Fall and Winter assessments
- Low growth, low achievement students’ scores increased by almost 1/3
- From 4.4 points in the Fall to 12.06 points in the Winter
