Implementation of a Reading Intervention Program

This report seeks to review our findings over two years in which we implemented the Project RED HAT: Reading is Everybody’s Duty, Holistic Approaches and Techniques reading program between 2018 and 2020. It is seldom that school districts evaluate how a newly adopted program may work to impact student outcomes. Therefore, school leaders, teachers and parents lack feedback on the efficacy of intervention programs. A complete and thorough data analysis was conducted on the efficacy of the Project RED HAT. Reading program utilized by approximately 39,000 elementary students in 10 different districts. We begin by describing the district-wide adoption and implementation of a single reading intervention and we then describe how we evaluated this new program using assessment data that were already being collected at the district and division levels.

本报告旨在复盘2018至2020年间我们实施的为期两年的红帽计划（Project RED HAT：阅读人人有责·整体性方法与技术）阅读项目所取得的研究成果。当前学区层面鲜有针对新引入项目如何影响学生学习成果的评估工作，导致学校管理者、教师与家长普遍缺乏关于干预项目有效性的反馈信息。为此，我们针对由10个学区约39000名小学生参与使用的该阅读项目的有效性，开展了全面且深入的数据分析。本报告首先阐述该单一阅读干预项目在全学区的推广与实施情况，随后介绍我们如何利用学区及分区层面已采集的评估数据，对这一新项目进行效果评估。
