Organized by Dr. Simone Gibson in collaboration with Maryland Initiative for Literacy and Equity (MILE) and Deans for Impact (DFI), The Literacy Ed Prep Collaborative allows collaboration “across EPPs to strengthen aspiring teachers’ preparation in reading instruction.”  Per the initiative, “The Literacy Ed Prep Collaborative brings together a select group of educator-preparation programs to redesign literacy coursework and strengthen teacher candidates’ skills in the Science of Reading. Over a 2.5-year partnership, faculty and staff collaborate across institutions, sharing expertise and learning from one another to create high-impact, sustainable improvements in teacher preparation. The project fosters innovation, cross-institutional learning, and measurable progress in early literacy instruction. Together, these programs are equipping aspiring teachers with the knowledge and skills to teach reading effectively.”
