“Common sense, backed by research, suggests that at-risk youth and their families have multiple needs that are not successfully addressed by single-response, stand-alone initiatives. There is growing interest in community-based collaboratives focused on the integration of service delivery. Many students need more than just instructional services to succeed in school.”
-Education Commission of the States


“The assumption here is that all children can learn. The need is for teaching strategies and school organizations that make that possible.”
-Linda Darling-Hammond

Success for All

 

“Our research summary shows that virtually every child can succeed in the early grades in principle. The number who will succeed in fact depends on the resources we are willing to devote to ensuring success for all and to our willingness to reconfigure the resources we already devote to remedial and special education and related services.” 
-Robert Slavin, Nancy Karweit, and Barbara Wasik
