Farring Elementary/Middle School, will investigate the effects of a literacy intervention – Read Two Impress. The multi-year study will examine the intervention’s effects on struggling third grade readers when used by preservice teachers and students’ families. It will also explore the effects of implementing the intervention on preservice teachers’ and families’ sense of efficacy in supporting young students’ literacy development.</p><p>The Sherman Center award will allow Dr. Nash and Mr. Michael to expand knowledge about a research-based literacy practice while strengthening UMBC’s relationship with the Maree G. Farring Elementary/Middle School community. Please join us in congratulating them.</p><p><em>The Sherman Center request for proposals for the 2018-19 funding cycle will be announced in September and proposals will be due in December 2018.
