Interim Guardrail 3.2: LETRS Completion
Interim Guardrail 3.2: LETRS Completion
The percentage of elementary teachers certified in LETRS, research-based instruction focusing on what literacy skills need to be taught, why they are important, and how to plan to teach them, will increase from 36% in August 2024 to 60% in August 2027.
The spreadsheet below shows our district's current progress towards reaching Guardrail 3.2 goal. This data shows the overall completion data, completion data by school, completion data by month, and completion data by LETRS Phase.
**Please note that as of March 2026, only teachers enrolled in LETRS Phases 1-10 should be complete with LETRS at this time. Teachers enrolled in Phases 11-14 are still in progress towards completing their LETRS requirements.
