Society Must Share Responsibility for High School Education

In an effort to reshape public education in New England so that it is more effective, equitable and better organized to prepare all learners for success, the Nellie Mae Education Foundation (NMEF) promotes student-centered approaches to learning at the high school level. As part of this work, NMEF has released a report, It Takes a Whole Society: Opening Up the Learning Landscape in the High School Years. The report says that rethinking the high school experience to engage outside-of-school partners can provide more effective and personalized learning experiences. Throughout the years, National Academy of American Scholars has reviewed, and offered opinions on topics generated by Nellie Mae. The latest report underscores the need for educstors to be vigilant about pursuing the correct course to correct the downward spiral of education in certain sectors and regions.
