Since launching their Literacy Improvement Program (LIP) in 2022, the district has undergone a profound transformation in how reading is taught.

Listen to this in-depth edWeb podcsat to hear from key participants in BUSD’s literacy improvement program about successes, challenges, and lessons learned from the past three years. The panelists share:
