By completing this form, your school is agreeing to continue in the recruitment process for participation in the Talk to Read© Collaborative grant. Participation is voluntary. Districts and participants may withdraw at any time. The project will start after all participating schools are randomly selected into two groups: treatment and control. Schools randomly selected to the treatment group will receive equipment and professional development during the 2025-2026 school year. During that same school year, schools randomly selected to the control group will conduct their school year as “business and usual” while providing data that will be compared to the schools that are in the treatment group. The control group schools will receive the same equipment and PD during the 2026-2027 school year. All data will be collected by an outside evaluator and will be protected under the strict confidentiality requirements of the University of Missouri’s Institutional Review Board. *
