Science of Reading
The science of reading refers to a body of research from the fields of education, cognitive psychology, developmental psychology, and neuroscience, that explains how individuals learn how to read and best practices for reading instruction. In the Henney Department of Education, our mission is to bridge theory and practice to prepare students for vocations that promote individual well-being, community engagement, peace, and social justice. As a department, we received a initial Lilly Endowment grant of $75,000.00 to aid in further incorporating the science of reading into its curriculum, as well as another Lilly Endowment grant of $500,000.00 as part of Lilly’s Advancing the Science of Reading initiative.
The Henney Department of Education has received A+ ratings by the National Council on Teacher Quality. See the report below:
