Mass Insight Education & Research Institute
(project organizer)
Mass Insight Education & Research Institute, founded in 1997, is an independent non-profitthat organizes public schools, higher education, business, and state government to significantly improve student achievement, with a focus on closing achievement gaps.Mass Insight's education reform strategies are defined by two convictions: that change at scaledepends on the practical integration of research, policy, and practice; and that only dramaticand comprehensive change in high-poverty schools will produce significant achievement gains.The strategies that Boston-based Mass Insight implemented to help make Massachusetts a reformmodel now inform the organization's national work on two high-impact goals: using AdvancedPlacement® as a lever to attain excellence in math and science achievement and to transformschool culture, and the successful turnaround of consistently under-performing public schools.18 Tremont Street, Suite 930, Boston, MA 02108617-778-1500 Fax: 617-778-1505For more information about Mass Insight and for additionalresources and tools relating to the turnaround of under-performingschools, please find us on the web at www.massinsight.org.
