MassGrad evaluation brief: Adult advocates for student support
August 2012
From the brief's introduction:
The MassGrad Evaluation Briefs were originally written for participants in the programs funded by the MassGrad initiative, whose purpose is “to substantially increase the number of students who earn a high school diploma.” The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE) believes that the lessons learned from MassGrad can help all schools that are trying to increase graduation rates, so ESE asked the evaluator — the UMass Donahue Institute — to update this introduction to frame the briefs for a broader audience.
