Our Theory of Change

At MagnifyED, we aim to strengthen literacy to foster learning. We work alongside districts and schools to identify student's literacy needs and create a tailored plan to get the most out of their existing curriculum, instruction, and assessment, and build capacity of their staff. We use an inquiry process to engage staff in the learning.

Check out an example of how we improved literacy practices and what it looks like in practice.

We want students who

Learn by:

Interpreting information from texts and multimedia
communicating their learning or message with others
building ownership and confidence

Therefore we need
curriculum, instruction, and assessment
that

Support studentsby:

Including higher order thinking activities tied to an essential question
Making higher order thinking accessible by spiraling literacy routines
Differentiating feedback and grouping strategies
Building opportunities to work collaboratively

Which means we need
leaders who

Lead change by:

Identifying the need and setting a vision
Fostering a culture of inquiry and celebration
Providing models and feedback

To truly understand what students are learning from the curriculum, we need to explore what students are saying, writing, and producing.

Our Support

Our inquiry cycle is designed to help schools and districts improve literacy outcomes. By following our process, you can identify areas for improvement and develop effective strategies to address them.

Who we Serve

We work with states and districts who serve students with a wide range of literacy needs. We aim to promote literacy strategies that support all students: newcomers, long term English language learners, students behind grade level, and students who are on or above grade level.

We work with different types of team configurations depending on the goals. Teams of stakeholders will work together to:

capitalize on areas of strength to support change management and scaling up of efforts.
identify strategies for addressing gaps in the existing system.
