The U.S. Federal Government has awarded the state of Alaska a $20.7 million-dollar grant to support reading skills in programs throughout the state, the Alaska Department of Education<\/a> and Early Development (DEED) announced on Tuesday October 2, 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The grant will be distributed by the U.S. Department of Education<\/a> over a five-year period. The current school year will receive $4.9 million, followed by $3.9 million each year for four years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DEED has a strategic plan to \u201cSupport ALL students to read at grade level by the end of third grade\u201d (DEED 2019). The state\u2019s education Commissioner Michael Johnson said DEED applied for this grant for that purpose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state is developing a literacy program that will include reading coaches and the teachers will receive a specialized training. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The state will also open an application for school district to apply for sub-grants. These sub-grants will support programs related to reading skills. The details for the application process will be shared with the public in the next coming weeks. There are 17 school districts and organizations in Alaska. They will all be able to apply for these sub-grants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Some of the other goals DEED has for the year are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Increase career, technical, and culturally relevant education to meet student and workforce needs <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Close the achievement gap by ensuring equitable educational rigor and resources <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Prepare, attract, and retain effective education professionals <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Improve the safety and well-being of students through school partnerships with families, communities, and tribes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
