Abstract | The effect of the New Tech Network (NTN) design on students' academic achievement and workforce skills was tested in several schools in the southeastern United States. Results are provided for a sample of four treatment and four matched and equivalent control schools. Results suggest that the NTN treatment in schools implementing with fidelity significantly improved NTN students' academic achievement, as measured by composite ACT scores (English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science) and significantly improved students' critical thinking skills, mathematical reasoning skills, and workforce problem solving techniques, as measured by ACT WorkKeys Applied Mathematics scores. Results also suggest that the NTN treatment did not significantly improve students' abilities to read, understand, and use written text on the job, as measured by scores on the ACT WorkKeys Reading for Information assessment, and did not significantly improve students' abilities to locate, synthesize, and use information from workplace graphics, as measured by scores on the ACT WorkKeys Locating Information assessment.
