3.4 additional months of math learning. That’s the average gain associated with high-fidelity implementation of PLC at Work® across the schools included in the 2026 national study. 📊 And the impact wasn’t limited to one region. Statistically significant math gains were identified across multiple states, including Texas, South Carolina, Kentucky, Iowa, Indiana, Georgia, and California. The findings highlight what can happen when educator collaboration, shared goals, and data-informed practices are sustained over time. 🔎 See what the data reveals and explore the full study: mkt.solutiontree.com/nationa… Source: National Study of Professional Learning Communities at Work, Socially Responsible Evaluation in Education (SREED), University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, 2026. #PLCatWork #MathAchievement #StudentGrowth #ProfessionalLearningCommunities #SchoolImprovement #EducationResearch #SolutionTree

📚 In honor of National Literacy Month, we’re going week by week with Solution Tree authors and experts. Two literacy strategies you can try with multilingual learners tomorrow. ✏️ Susan B. Katz, author of The SWIRL Method, shares two simple ways to strengthen vocabulary through speaking and writing: 🎨 Paint chip vocabulary strips help students explore shades of meaning and move toward more precise language. 🎲 Dice discussions turn questions about a book, unit, or topic into opportunities to speak, interact, and practice new vocabulary. Simple materials. Meaningful language practice. Strategies you can use right away. Save these ideas for your next lesson!

What happens when PLC at Work® is implemented with fidelity and sustained over time? The data points to meaningful student growth. 📈 A 2026 national study found that students in Model PLC at Work schools experienced statistically significant gains in both math and reading achievement—equivalent to approximately 3.4 additional months of learning in math and 2.9 additional months in reading. The findings reinforce the impact that focused collaboration, collective inquiry, and data-driven practices can have on student learning and lasting school improvement. 🔎 Explore the full research and see the findings behind the numbers: mkt.solutiontree.com/nationa… Source: National Study of Professional Learning Communities at Work, Socially Responsible Evaluation in Education (SREED), University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, 2026. #PLCatWork #ProfessionalLearningCommunities #StudentAchievement #SchoolImprovement #EducationResearch #SolutionTree

📚 In honor of National Literacy Month, we’re going week by week with Solution Tree authors and experts. Assessment data shouldn’t just tell us what happened. It should help us decide what happens next. The real value of an assessment isn’t the score, chart, or report—it’s what your team does with the information. Strong literacy teams use data to ask better questions, identify what students need, and make instructional decisions that can shape future outcomes. Because collecting data is only the beginning. The response is where the impact starts.

📚 In honor of National Literacy Month, we’re going week by week with Solution Tree authors and experts. Big words can become big barriers to comprehension. Here’s one routine secondary readers can use when a multisyllabic word stops them in their tracks: 1️⃣ Circle the prefixes and suffixes. 2️⃣ Underline the vowels. 3️⃣ Read each part separately. 4️⃣ Put the parts together. The goal isn’t to make grade-level text easier. It’s to give students the tools they need to access it. Save this strategy for your classroom. 📖 Explore more Science of Reading professional development: mkt.solutiontree.com/science… #NationalLiteracyMonth #ScienceOfReading #SecondaryLiteracy #TeacherTips #SolutionTree

📚 In honor of National Literacy Month, we’re going week by week with Solution Tree authors and experts. What’s the real difference between a struggling reader in 3rd grade and one in 9th grade? Sometimes, the underlying reading challenge is more similar than we think. The difference? A ninth grader may have spent six additional years avoiding reading, compensating for gaps, and learning how to hide the fact that they’re struggling. That’s why adolescent literacy intervention has to address more than the skill gap. It also has to recognize everything the student has experienced along the way. It’s never too late to become a stronger reader.

📚 In honor of National Literacy Month, we’re going week by week with Solution Tree authors and experts. A student isn’t “low.” A student is learning. Instead of labeling students, strong literacy teams get specific about what they need next. Is the gap in phonics? Fluency? Comprehension? Vocabulary? When educators understand both their students’ needs and the standards they’re working toward, they can build a much clearer path to proficiency. Literacy grows when we stop defining students by where they are—and start identifying what will move them forward.

📚 In honor of National Literacy Month, we’re going week by week with Solution Tree authors and experts. What do you do when a secondary student is stuck on a word—but the text can’t wait? Strong vocabulary instruction is about more than learning definitions. It can give adolescent readers the tools they need to access grade-level text with greater confidence and comprehension. One strategy? Teach students how to break multisyllabic words into manageable parts by identifying prefixes, suffixes, vowels, and syllables. A small, research-based routine that can make a big difference for readers who need additional support.
