MGT awarded Read To Achieve Contract in Kentucky
MGT was contracted by the University of Kentucky to evaluate the Kentucky Read to Achieve (RTA) program. The RTA program is implemented within approximately 300 schools throughout the state of Kentucky. MGT’s evaluation uses a mixed-methods approach to address three study components: Process Study, Cost Study, and Impact Study. The process evaluation examines the implementation and fidelity of the KY RTA program and common reading interventions implemented as part of the KY RTA. The cost evaluation examines the cost effectiveness of the commonly implemented KY RTA reading interventions. The impact study examines the effect of the program and associated interventions on achievement outcomes including the extent to which the program and associated interventions have helped close the gap for disadvantaged groups and improve student achievement outcomes initially and over time.
