Research

Benchmark Literacy resources have been proven effective through multiple scientifically based, independent, yearlong research studies.

In 2006 and 2009, Benchmark Education participated in yearlong, scientifically based research studies in Tyler, TX, and East Hartford, CT, designed to prove the effectiveness of Benchmark Literacy resources in accelerating student achievement.

The studies were designed by and held to the highest US DOE standards by Main Street Academix, an independent, university-based research company. MSA selected random pairs of experimental and control schools, administered the pretests and posttests, ensured fidelity of implementation, and compiled final results.

In addition to Benchmark Literacy resources, the schools received customized product training followed by monthly on-site coaching in whole- and small-group differentiated instruction using their own students.

"The demonstration lessons with our students were the best thing that has ever happened. They were not a videotape of someone else’s students, but a model of what we need to do with our own students."
