Project Highlight: The Path Forward
One of the most exciting projects for IPsquared has been our partnership with the Literacy Academy Collective in leading The Path Forward initiative in New York, a project we began in 2023. IPsquared’s role in supporting The Path Forward was to embody our core values—leadership, anti-bias, relationships, learning science, and effective process. I’m proud to share that the result of our work is a detailed, actionable 3-year plan. This plan lays out clear steps for the government in New York State, for educator preparation programs, and for partnerships with K-12 systems across the state.

The goal of the Path Forward is “a consistent and comprehensive integration of culturally responsive, evidence-based practices for teaching literacy into EPPs that are grounded in the Science of Reading, emphasize the importance of structured literacy, and develop the six core competencies— within NYSED’s Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Education Framework—across coursework, assessments, and clinical experiences in five program areas: early childhood education (birth-grade 2), childhood education(grades 1-6), literacy, students with disabilities, and English to speakers of other languages.” (Summary Brief, p. 2)

As part of The Path Forward, New York State is delivering on its commitments to integrate the Science of Reading into educator preparation:
They have released a Baseline Framework for Integrating the Science of Reading in Educator Preparation and an initial survey completed by 80 percent of the EPP
They have begun the work to:
Ensure that the regulatory structure and certification exams align with the science.
Refine and improve NYSED’s program review process.
Establish a publicly available EPP-level data dashboard.
Over the course of 2025-2026, IPsquared will continue to support Literacy Academy Collective
Facilitating The Path Forward Steering Committee meetings
Launching the pilots in at least 10 educator preparation programs
Beginning the statewide knowledge sharing work
Building the energy and support for this work for years to come.

“The ability to read proficiently impacts a student’s entire educational experience, and it can radically impact the ability of an adult to reach their fullest potential. The first step is to ensure that all curriculum and instruction is rooted in the science of reading, and that’s reflected in the Action Plan.” - Chancellor Lester Young, NYS Board of Regents
