STUDENT SUCCESS/
Learning to 18
Our purpose is to share effective approaches that schools and boards can use both to offer more students opportunities for success and to re-engage recent school leavers, with the goal of reducing dropout rates, improving credit accumulation and increasing graduation rates. Developed by teacher leaders through the Learning to 18 funding initiative, these resources provide Ontario-specific models and best practices that have been reviewed for effectiveness in increasing student success and producing measurable results.
