Kristen Wynn (MDE State Literacy Director, K-12), Jill Webb Hoda (MDE Assistant State Literacy Coordinator, K-3), & Jessica Crosby-Pitchamootoo (Elementary Curriculum Lead Division 1, Jackson Public Schools), join Melissa & Lori to share the larger context of literacy in Mississippi, as well as why they decided to focus on high quality instructional materials - and HOW they did it!

They outline the path they took to adopt Wit & Wisdom ELA, from the moment they knew they needed a HQC through adoption and implementation in Jackson Public Schools, the state's largest urban district.
