The Guinn Center
The Kenny Guinn Center for Policy Priorities is a nonprofit, nonpartisan policy center addressing key challenges faced by policymakers in Nevada. We are affiliated with the University of Nevada, Reno, with researchers and collaborative partnerships at NSHE institutions across the state. Founded in 2014 by a group of Nevadans who sought to advance new policy choices based on sound research, sensible and pragmatic thinking, and bold ideas, the Center is named for the late-Governor Kenny Guinn. Our research is financially supported through grants, contracts, and generous contributions from our donors.
About This Event
Early literacy proficiency remains closely tied to long-term educational outcomes, workforce development, and economic mobility. In this first installment of the Guinn Center's briefs on Literacy in Nevada, we’ll take a dive into the findings from an initial study and preview future briefs, including a look at Nevada’s literacy investments, research on best practices, the Science of Reading, and the roles teachers, administrators, families, and communities can play in supporting literacy development.
This First Look webinar will offer insights from the first brief in the series and will feature an interactive discussion allowing attendees to have a hand in shaping future Guinn Center literacy research.
