At Beacon, we believe the best educational leadership begins with listening before leading, serving before directing, and building relationships before implementing solutions.
Lasting improvement is rarely the result of a single program or initiative; it grows through trust, thoughtful collaboration, continuous learning, and a shared commitment to doing what is best for students.
This website is still being built but published early to allow for Michigan Educators to access the Reading Now Network Data.
The Reading Now Network (RNN) Data Viz is available again. The RNN data is intended to create curiosity around the data when accounting for At-Risk Factors to identify which schools tend to out-perform similar schools. What makes these "bright spots" different? What can we learn from them? See RNN Data page for details about how to navigate the tool.
NEW this year is a data trend line to see the "percentile" change over the course of time. For example, a school in "the green" with a residual of 0.5 (or 1/2 standard deviation above the expected value), would also be at the 69th Percentile. How has those numbers changed over the past few years?
See RNN Data page for details on navigating the tool.
Michigan schools often have access to abundant data but need support turning that information into clear priorities, practical plans, and meaningful action. Beacon helps school and district leaders understand what the data is revealing, identify the most important next steps, and build an improvement process that can be sustained over time.
