But how do you take that goal and turn it into real change? We find out in this episode of Impact in Action.\nToday, we catch up with the Utah State Board of Education’s Savannah Hunt and Susie Estrada, and we lift the curtain on MGT’s contribution to SB127. We are joined by Sarah Iannucci, an education consultant from MGT, to discuss tangible solutions to engage better with students, at school or at home. Together, we draw a simple but powerful roadmap for educators and families.\nPart 2 of our Literacy Crisis series is a lesson in how communities can come together to improve outcomes for children. From the science of reading to change management and family engagement, find out how statewide education reform happens, one step at a time. \n\nChapters:1- Introduction and series recap (0:29)2- MGT & the USBE: an innovative approach to education reform (5:45)3- The cohort model, a tried and tested method to improve schools (9:01)4- Why collaboration between teachers and families matters (17:43)5- The power of school events to foster community support (25:24)6- First results and preparing the future of SB127 (30:18)\nLinks:MGT WebsiteMGT LinkedInMGT Education solutionsUSBE WebsiteSavannah Hunt LinkedInSusie Estrada LinkedInSarah Iannucci LinkedInUtah State Legislature - SB127[Article] NWEA - “The science of reading explained\"[Article] MGT - “From Policy to Progress: How Senate Bill 127 is Transforming Early Literacy in Utah”[Book] Karen Mapp - Beyond the Bake Sale: The Essential Guide to Family/School Partnerships[Resource] The National Literacy Institute - 2024-2025 Literacy Statistics[Resource] World Population Review - U.S. Literacy Rates by State 2025\nFeedback:If you have questions about the topics covered in this episode, or about MGT's work with the USBE, you can email Sarah Iannucci:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/h90nHRQbZHhU-OoJ9wpamNOPHR8DaA5hdF8XoYSwClU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS8yNTdi/ZWQwOTMzZTNiY2Y4/NDZlNzk5YWRhN2Mx/MGViNC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
