We partner with states and school districts to advance innovative turnaround strategies by facilitating networks among local and state education leaders.
Overview
Mass Insight is a national leader on school and district reform, recognizing the importance of leveraging state and federal government education leaders as partners in turnaround efforts. Our State Policy & Networks Program helps shape state and federal education policy and practice related to school turnaround, and engages an influential network of education leaders who are committed to transforming low-performing schools.
Programs
Gateway to College Success Network
In July 2016, Mass Insight Education & Research was awarded a grant from the Massachusetts Teaching and Learning Network (MassTLN) to launch the first-of-its-kind Gateway to College Success Network. The Network aims to put more Massachusetts students, particularly those in Gateway Cities, on a path to college success by dramatically improving teaching and learning in grades 6 through 12. There are five Gateway City school districts participating: Fitchburg, Holyoke, New Bedford, Springfield, and Worcester.
State Development Network
Mass Insight launched the State Development Network (SDN) in 2011. The SDN is a multi-state network of State Education Agency (SEA) leaders who are committed to turning around low-performing schools by increasing state-level capacity and transforming policy. The SDN is designed to advance states’ turnaround strategies, in part by facilitating much-needed collaboration among states.
