Printer-friendly version

A big challenge facing educators is how to scale-up successful programs. Meet the Challenge, a systematic approach to improving the reading and math skills of low-achieving middle school students, was developed for two middle schools in the Indian River School District in Delaware. After student achievement in these schools improved to levels that met accountability goals, the approach was successfully replicated in schools in three other districts. Learn how the program supports struggling students and what it took to expand the program.
