Working Group - School Reform and Beyond
School Reform and Beyond (SRB) aspires to identify strategies that dramatically help close the persistent gap in achievement between children from low-income and higher-income families. SRB focuses on three targets: strategies to help pre-K and early elementary children in their early transition to school, strategies to help children in the early years of life attain school-readiness, and non-school strategies to improve children's school outcomes. Because of the interest and expertise of our core leadership group, SRB began by focusing on whole school reform targeted at children from Pre-K to Grade 5. This focus has led to design of a powerful new re-combination or a fusion of the "active ingredients" of proven strategies that simultaneously enhance children's reading, social-emotional learning and executive functions (SECURe). Now that this work has been launched, we are beginning to turn our attention to strategies to help children in the early years of life (ages 0-3).
