Printer-friendly version

This session will provide participants with a synthesis of compelling research, program and policy recommendations, and effective classroom strategies based on findings from 18 state and national studies of high poverty/higher performance schools. Improvements in curriculum, instruction, assessment and data literacy, reorganization of time, space and resources, and parent and community engagement contributed to the success of these schools. The presentation will include descriptions of K-12 high achieving schools with significant population of low SES students.
