Abstract	In this report, we present three of the most critical challenges facing our public schools--areas where greater investments, strategic expansion of effective practices, and thoughtful collaboration can bring us closer to achieving our statewide vision of excellence for every child. Indeed, the purpose of this report is not to generate new policy ideas but rather to help decision-makers and the general public better understand practices that are already in place and appear to be working. We began with the data, zeroing in on the areas where student outcomes are lagging. We then asked what remedies to similar performance gaps have been successfully implemented in Massachusetts and have the potential, if brought to scale, to solve our most pressing challenges. The Rennie Center identified three areas in which statewide action can build on existing, effective practice to generate significant improvements in student outcomes: (1) Expand early childhood programming: Develop a community-based, mixed-provider approach to expand access to quality prekindergarten options so that more Commonwealth students have access to these foundational learning experiences; (2) Develop a robust statewide approach to student support: Invest in broader implementation of holistic assessments of student well-being in addition to effective multi-provider models that allow schools and their partners to address a full range of student strengths and needs; and (3) Replicate innovative early college designs: Prepare more students for the 21st century by expanding models that blend high school and college coursework, providing students with the momentum and support they need to persist to a college degree.
