Substantial research makes It clear that schools as they function today account for only about 10 to 15% of the variance in student achievement. It does not have to remain that way. Positive interventions that connect all learners with powerful learning principles and tools can boost student success way above anything done so far. Some interventions are simple and require relatively small investments of time and resources. They can be initiated by individual classroom teachers and can have almost immediate benefits to the students in those classrooms. More substantial interventions can be carried out by school or district teams. Still other interventions need the support of wider regions, states, or the nation as a whole. Whether you represent only yourself as a teacher or are part of a larger team, find out what is possible by emailing Brent Evans at brentevans@learningsuccess.com. Include questions or interests. You can make a difference! Important links for schools and teachers
