Plan your strategy for addressing the problem. Use

resources: Without proper resources, training
programs suffer. Schools are over crowded and
record-keeping is not consistent. Without good
information about where our kids are starting, we
have no way of knowing if our goals may be
unattainable.
Teachers don’t get sufficient training and support
in our reading programs. Students’ reading levels
are not measured accurately in grades K–3.

Many third grade students in Cleveland do not
read at grade level.
We believe that this is a result of teachers not
having sufficient training in our reading program
and not accurately measuring students’ reading
levels in grades K–3. We want all third graders in
our schools to read at grade level or above.
Final problem statement

We will start a teacher mentoring program

focused on reading and implement more rigorous
reading assessments in the primary grades. At the
same time, we will implement a system that will
more accurately record and report student
reading ability in K-3 throughout the system.
