Student Success

The ultimate test of whether educators and policymakers have fulfilled their responsibilities to students is how well their students succeed both in the near term school and in the long term in later life. CEPA researchers examines a wide range of issues, including how to best measure student success, what factors predict and promote student success, and how different types of teacher instruction, school programs, and education policies can improve student achievement.
