A 'good life' for every student: High schools embrace many pathways to success

Can the lessons schools learned in the Covid-19 recovery period contribute to more lasting, transformative shifts in high school?

In "A 'good life' for every student: High schools embrace many pathways to success," researchers from Center on Reinventing Public Education (CRPE) and CPRL, with support from the Barr Foundation, explore this question and hear directly from students and adults about their experiences at a group of New England public high schools during the pandemic recovery period. 

The nearly 300 interviews in this study yielded a resounding message: High schools should prepare young people not only for college or work, but to live a “good life” on their own terms—to be fulfilled, happy adults with stable, family-sustaining incomes, strong communities, and choices about which opportunities to pursue.
