Pueblo
City Schools was an early example of a large Title 1 District that
closed the achievement gap. In 1998, Lindamood-Bell partnered with the
district to provide extensive professional development and implement
innovative, research-based instructional programs in classrooms and
intervention settings. This collaboration continues to positively
affect student achievement on a district-wide
level. |
Since
1998, the partnership has been recognized at local, state, and national
levels. The district-wide model was analyzed in 2006 in the American Educational Research Journal (AERJ). This
peer-reviewed study found that "Statistically significant and
increasing gains favoring the Lindamood-Bell reading intervention was
found both overall and in analysis of Title I schools." The authors
concluded, "In effect, PSD60 went by the book in producing large-scale
reform with much success."

| For the
2008-09 school year, Pueblo City Schools is one of 25 comprehensive
school models that Lindamood-Bell is involved with across the country.
Lindamood-Bell continues to provide ongoing professional development
and certification throughout the district with the goal of maintaining
a high level of program quality and effectiveness. Lindamood-Bell is an
approved provider for Colorados Closing the Achievement Gap
initiative. |

Since the inception of this partnership, over
2,000 Pueblo teachers have attended professional development workshops
in research-based instructional methodologies. Currently 47
instructional leaders throughout the district have been certified by
Lindamood-Bell. More than 11,000 students have received intensive
intervention in reading and/or comprehension and thousands of students
have benefited from Tier 1 instruction through the classroom
curricula.
