The National STAR Training Network (NSTN)
The National STAR Training Network (NSTN) encompasses national and
state experts in reading instruction, state and federal policymakers, and
practitioners. All are working in partnership with the U.S. Department of
Education to use evidence-based reading instruction (EBRI) and the STAR model
to improve adult literacy.
NSTN helps state leaders, program administrators and classroom teachers deliver
EBRI to intermediate-level adult learners (GLE 4.0-8.9) through a range of
activities and services (see STAR Services ). These
services are delivered by experts in evidence-based reading instruction (the
National STAR Training Cadre) and supported by the Network staff.
