The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) has recognized Mississippi and Colorado as the top two states for ensuring scientifically based reading instruction in their teacher preparation programs in a "Teacher Prep Review: Strengthening Elementary Reading Instruction" report.
The report provides the most up-to-date information available on how teacher preparation programs prepare aspiring teachers to teach children to read.
The NCTQ report credits Mississippi for enacting strong, comprehensive policies to promote the science of reading, with focused implementation of developing robust and specific teacher preparation standards and accountability.
Mississippi’s investments in teacher preparation and professional development have helped make the state a national leader for improving student outcomes.
In 2019, Mississippi 4th graders achieved the No. 1 spot in the nation for gains on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).
Since 2013, Mississippi’s national ranking for 4th grade reading jumped from 50th to 21st. (Magnolia State Live 06/14/23) Mississippi teachers get some great news in national rankings - Magnolia State Live | Magnolia State Live
