READTYCH is looking for institutions prepared to participate in shaping the experience, not simply receive devices.
A strong pilot partner usually has a clear educational goal, an internal leader to support the program, educators willing to participate, and a technical contact to help with infrastructure and access.
The institution should also be willing to begin with a manageable scope.
A pilot involving one subject, grade level, or group of classrooms can provide more useful evidence than a rushed deployment across an entire district.
Most importantly, the institution must be prepared to speak honestly.
READTYCH needs to understand what worked, what created difficulty, what educators avoided using, what students found confusing, and what should change before more people are involved.
A useful pilot is not one where everyone says the product is perfect.
It is one where everyone learns what could improve it.
