How Strategic Planning Delivers Results for Your District

RedThread Science of Reading eBook
The Science of Reading is clear about what students need to become proficient readers — but translating that research into consistent, effective classroom instruction is where most programs fall short. This free ebook from Lavinia Group and K12 Coalition introduces RedThread Literacy, a K–8 curriculum built to bridge that gap by systematically addressing every pillar of the Science of Reading: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension, along with knowledge building and oral language development.
How We Solve America’s Math Crisis
America's math crisis is real, urgent, and solvable. How We Solve America's Math Crisis, a 2025 report from K12 Coalition and Bellwether, makes the case that over half of U.S. students lack math proficiency — not because the research on effective instruction is missing, but because proven practices have never been consistently implemented. The report identifies three evidence-based pillars of high-quality math instruction: building math identity in both students and educators, balancing conceptual understanding with procedural fluency, and ensuring learning progressions are logical and cumulative.
