Independent School Executive Forum Resource Hub

EAB provides in-depth research and services for heads of school to meet their most pressing challenges, from fortifying their financial foundation, to cultivating a full spectrum of talent, protecting against community disruption, and evolving their institutions into the future. To save schools time in achieving these goals, our research team identifies innovative, practical solutions, diagnoses schools’ unique needs, secures stakeholder buy-in for initiatives, and eases the burden of implementation.

Embracing the Science of Reading

Researchers have long examined how the brain learns to read and what this means for reading instruction. However, many faculty and staff are unaware of this research and its implications for the classroom. Supportive and knowledgeable school leadership is also critical to ensuring the lasting success of any initiative. But division heads do not always have a background in reading instruction and are often lacking the same knowledge their faculty are.
