MassGrad evaluation brief: Positive school climate and socio-emotional systems of support
October 2013
From the brief's introduction:
The MassGrad Evaluation Briefs share findings from the evaluation of programs funded by the MassGrad award, whose purpose is “to substantially increase the number of students who earn a high school diploma.” The lessons learned from MassGrad can help all schools that are trying to achieve that goal, so the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (ESE) asked the evaluator—the UMass Donahue Institute—to frame the briefs not just for MassGrad participants, but also for a broader audience.
