Think Forward New England
How high school education systems are adapting and innovating during COVID-19
While COVID-19 caused unimaginable disruptions to public education, we saw remarkable examples of innovation and commitment to supporting high school student success. Working with a diverse group consisting of researchers from the Center for Public Research and Leadership, SRI International, the Clayton Christensen Institute, and the Education Trust, CRPE is partnering with The Barr Foundation to map the New England region’s landscape of learning, surface new instructional approaches and strategies that solve essential problems while centering the adolescent perspective, and probe on the conditions that shape high school systems’ adaptations. Products from this project translate research findings into actionable insights for parents, practitioners, and system leaders in New England and beyond.

But the region’s work to reel in the public health crisis did not translate into definitive actions on all the issues confronting students this fall.
