The science of reading movement is sweeping across the nation, and state and local policymakers are taking steps to ensure that students are learning to read via proven methods. Here in Ohio, Governor DeWine is leading bold efforts to ensure that schools use methods that focus on the components of the reading science: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension.

But what about Ohio’s teacher preparation programs? Are they adequately training prospective teachers in the reading science? Or are some of them promoting methods contrary to it?

On May 16, 2023, we held an in-person event discussing teacher preparation in Ohio. The National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) presented brand-new findings from their latest review of Ohio’s teacher preparation programs in elementary-school reading. A panel and moderated discussion followed, along with audience Q&A.
