The goal of the "Best Practices: Preparing Excellent Reading Teachers" research project is to present a deep analysis of New Hampshire (NH) teacher endorsement standards that relate to the teaching of reading and report on the application of existing standards and evidence-based strategies for teaching structured literacy in relevant preservice programs at NH Educator Preparation Programs (EPPs). Consequently, the project's findings are intended for formative purposes to inform and monitor EPPs' continuous improvement of "curriculum, clinical practice and partnerships, and resources for the institution's PEPP [postsecondary educator preparation program] that enable the oversight and coordination for the preparation of effective educators." (NH Standard Ed602.02). This report serves as the state summary report for the participating NH EPPs, presenting findings and recommendations from analyses of (a) relevant course content materials, (b) administrative, interview, and/or survey data, and (c) a sample of student New Hampshire Teacher Candidate Assessment of Performance (NHTCAP) projects for alignment to state program standards and quality instruction for structured literacy.
