In every classroom across our great state--from Monroe to Manistee and Mt.

Hemelt, Steven W.; Jacob, Brian A. – Education Finance and Policy, 2020
In 2011, the U.S. Department of Education granted states the opportunity to apply for waivers from the core requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act.

This study builds on a 2019 Fordham Institute report that examined the relationship between charter school enrollment share--the share of students in a community who enroll in a charter school--and the average achievement of all the students in that community, including those in traditional public schools.

García, Emma; Weiss, Elaine – Economic Policy Institute, 2017
Persistently large achievement gaps between high-social-class and low-social-class children in America, and the disparities in opportunity that drive these achievement gaps, threaten the very notion of the American Dream. The lack of true equality of opportunity calls for much more comprehensive interventions to tackle those gaps. This report…

Youth transitioning out of foster care and into adulthood need many supports to navigate the challenges they face.

Addonizio, Michael F.; Kearney, C. Philip; Gawlik, Marytza A. – Educational Considerations, 2015
In the quest to raise student achievement in low-performing urban schools, researchers often point to the central importance of recruitment and retention of a high quality teacher workforce (Lankford, Loeb and Wyckoff 2002; Rivkin, Hanushek and Kain 2005; Jacob 2007). At the same time, advocates have proposed charter schools not only as a means to…
