New Directions for Student Support
& Lessons Learned
Transforming student and learning supports begins with rethinking how all available learning support resources can be deployed most effectively in addressing barriers to learning and teaching. The 2015 National Initiative is designed to stimulate such rethinking and to support widespread systemic changes.*

In support of systemoc changes, our Center compiles information about places across the country where beginnings have been made that have relevance for developing a unified, comprehensive, and equitable system of student and learning supports. These trailblazing and pioneering efforts provide an intriguing glimpse into the future of learning supports and offer invaluable lessons learned. Some have taken their first implementation steps; some are in the planning stage. A few of those that started encountered difficulty generating the type of momentum necessary to produce full blown systemic change. All provide lessons learned.

The material provided here offers a small set of instructive examples. Each month, we hear about other places moving in new directions. As we learn about these, we reach out for information and to offer support. We look forward to adding more and more useful examples.

Click on the links below for information and resources related to transforming student and learning supports at school, district, & state levels. The trailblazing examples focus on broad-based systemic designs and initiatives; the other examples provide lessons learned from some specific innovations reported in recent years.
