At ASP's invitation and with funding from the Ford Foundation, MDRC conducted an independent evaluation of the Accelerated Schools reform in eight of the elementary schools around the country.

  • Remedial education programs have been a traditional response to academic problems, especially among poor and minority students, but past research has shown that this approach can keep students from joining the educational mainstream.

Who participated in the development and implementation of the project?

What did the project focus on? What were its goals?

Having a hands on approach for the at-risk students will help them learn in a different way.

This reform act wasn't that difficult to do, mainly because it has worked for many of the students already.

Who initiated it?

The purpose of this group is to have a response to academic problems, especially among poor and minority students.

  • Dr. Henry M. Levin and his colleagues at the Accelerated Schools Project (ASP)

They wanted to help these students thrive and succeed.

  • All children can learn, even those who have been identified as at-risk students.
  • This reform is one that has worked pretty well for the students who have harder time getting the information they learned.

What is it?

  • In the early 1990's, the reform's main components didn't institute other major reforms during the study period and were able to supply the data
  • This was used to help students succeed in later education and the labor market.
