Instructions: In this task, you are given text for US Congressional and California state bills, your task is to generate a summary for this bill.
Input: SECTION 1. READING RESEARCH DISSEMINATION AND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN.

(a) Short Title.--This section may be cited as the ''Reading
Research Dissemination and Implementation Act''.
(b) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The National Reading Panel was convened to assess the
status of research-based knowledge in the area of reading
development and instruction and to evaluate the effectiveness
of various approaches to teaching children to learn to read.
(2) On April 13, 2000, the National Reading Panel issued
its report, ''Teaching Children to Read: An Evidence-Based
Assessment of the Scientific Research Literature on Reading and
its Implications for Reading Instruction''.
(3) The National Reading Panel was to assess the extent to
which instructional approaches found to be effective are ready
for application in the classroom, and to develop a strategy for
rapidly disseminating the information on those approaches to
schools to facilitate effective reading instruction in the
schools.
(4) The National Reading Panel has completed its assessment
of the objective research-based knowledge in the area of
reading development and reading instruction and has identified
several instructional strategies that have been clearly
documented by research to be effective for teaching the range
of reading skills to children of varying reading abilities.
(5) The National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development has developed an initial dissemination strategy to
provide all Members of Congress, all colleges of education, all
State departments of education, and all public libraries in the
Nation with copies of the National Reading Panel's report.
(6) A dissemination of findings, although helpful, does not
typically lead to systematic and genuine implementation of the
critical research findings that inform teacher preparation
practices, classroom instructional practices, and educational
policies.
(7) To ensure that research findings on effective reading
instructional approaches are fully implemented for the
improvement of the education of our Nation's children, a
strategic plan for the dissemination and implementation of the
findings is necessary.
(c) Establishment of Strategic Planning Team.--The Assistant
Secretary of Education for Educational Research and Improvement and the
Director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human
Development of the Department of Health and Human Services shall
jointly convene a strategic planning team to develop the plan required
under subsection (d). The team shall be composed of the following:
(1) The Chairman of the National Reading Panel.
(2) Persons jointly appointed by the convening officials
from among persons who are representative of each of the
following:
(A) The National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development.
(B) The Department of Education.
(C) Teacher professional organizations.
(D) Parents.
(E) Presidents of institutions of higher education.
(F) The teacher education colleges or departments
within institutions of higher education.
(G) Private businesses.
(H) Public libraries.
(I) State boards of education.
(J) State directors of special education.
(K) The Governors of States.
(L) Publishers of reading textbooks.
(d) Plan.--The Strategic Planning Team shall develop and, not later
than December 31, 2000, submit to the Secretary of Education a plan--
(1) to determine--
(A) the extent to which current teacher preparation
for both preservice and inservice training incorporates
the findings of the National Reading Panel; and
(B) how any barriers to the incorporation of those
findings can be changed in order to integrate the
findings into programs to educate and certify teachers;
(2) to identify the deficiencies in instructional
materials, including textbooks and supplementary materials, and
to determine how materials might be designed to correct the
deficiencies in ways that reflect the findings of the National
Reading Panel;
(3) to determine whether there are any barriers in Federal
and State policies that would preclude appropriate adoption of
the National Reading Panel findings; and
(4) to identify specific strategies for collaboration among
businesses, public schools, teacher education programs,
university and college administrators, and teacher-parent
collaborations to guide and ensure that evidence-based
instructional practices are implemented in teacher preparation,
classroom instruction, and Federal and State policies.
(e) Implementation of Plan.--Upon receiving the plan under
subsection (d), the Secretary of Education shall immediately take the
actions necessary to implement the plan.
Output:
Directs the SPT to submit to the Secretary of Education a plan that determines and identifies: (1) the extent to which current teacher preparation for both preservice and inservice training incorporates NRP findings, and how barriers to such incorporation can be changed to integrate such findings into programs to educate and certify teachers; (2) deficiencies in instructional materials, and how materials might be designed to correct deficiencies in ways that reflect NRP findings; (3) whether there are barriers in Federal and State policies that would preclude appropriate adoption of NRP findings; and (4) specific strategies for collaboration among businesses, public schools, teacher education programs, university and college administrators, and teacher-parent collaborations to guide and ensure that evidence-based instructional practices are implemented in teacher preparation, classroom instruction, and Federal and State policies.
Directs the Secretary of Education to implement such plan.
