by
Sara Bernard
School-by-school efforts such as increased professional development for teachers or an emphasis on project-based learning.
State or federal policy reforms such as class-size reduction or an increase in funding for recruiting high-quality teachers.
Increased parental involvement at school and in children's lives.
Social programs that address issues such as housing, health care, and activities for at-risk youth.
None of the above. (Comment below.)
