This state was seeking information about the evidence that exists for effective early literacy models. The questions posed were: 1. What does the research say about effective approaches to support early literacy? 2. What additional resources are available that the state can use to support districts' use of evidence-based models and approaches? The information was needed by the state so it could support districts use of effective models and approaches to improve children's early literacy outcomes. The Regional Comprehensive Center and CEELO met with the state education agency early childhood specialist coordinate technical assistance to the state. During the meeting, the Regional Comprehensive Center agreed to work with the early childhood specialist to convene stakeholders from each region throughout the state to articulate priority needs in the areas of early literacy and numeracy. CEELO agreed to provide the group with information and resources regarding the evidence of effective early literacy and numeracy models and approaches. CEELO staff reviewed key research including the National Early Literacy Panel (NELP) publications, information from the What Works Clearinghouse obtained by the Regional Education Lab and by CEELO staff, and through a review research obtained by the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) and the National Institute for Early Education Research (NIEER).
