We invest in new innovative schools that embrace an expanded definition of student success meaning schools focus on academic results, social-emotional competencies and school culture/climate factors. A 2018 brief, authored Jason Atwood and Stacey Childress, includes design and implementation lessons we learned from working closely with school leadership teams and our research partner, Transforming Education. This brief also includes observations based on the data collected from more than 3,000 students at 23 schools.
