EduExchange: That Final One-Third -- Towards Attaining One Hundred Percent Mastery in the Grade Four Literacy Test

The Jamaica Partners for Educational Progress wishes for all its members a productive 2011.

For our first EduExchange discussion for 2011 (February 1-3), we have chosen to examine the performance of our children in the Grade Four Literacy Test. The data shows that in spite of a raft of interventions over the more than a decade of this Test, we are still about 15 per cent short of our national target of 85 per cent mastery by 2010 and ultimately to have all Jamaican children master this Test.

Share your views with us; tell us what is happening in your school and classroom to move children from non-mastery to mastery. Join us as three of our experienced educators and literacy specialists help us identify the and sharpen our skills to address them.
