MBPC: What works in education

MassBudget    Information.    Participation.  Massachusetts Budget and Policy Center    Democracy. Strategies that Work  And How They Can be Implemented Effectively MassBudget and the Rennie Center's Roadmap to Expanding Opportunity project examines specific strategies that have a clear track record of helping students learn and develop into productive members of their communities. These strategies include: smaller class sizes; early education; support for new teachers; wraparound services; additional learning time; community based learning opportunities; multiple pathways to graduation; and dual enrollment in college courses during high school. When implemented successfully, these strategies can ensure that students receive both the highest quality education possible inside the classroom and additional supports they need to succeed at school and in life. The infographic shows the supports that, if done right, can help at different ages.
