The progress we made created opportunities for nearly 500 talented students to reach their highest potential. For nearly 60 years, A Better Chance has been a preeminent force of change in our society. Through the incredible educational opportunities available through our program, the trajectory of over 16,500 lives has been altered. In 2019, 471 additional Scholars were placed at one of our 329 highly competitive Member Schools with $18.2 million in financial aid leveraged for their educations. Our devoted team made these placements possible while continuing to support the currently enrolled 2,206 Scholar community by providing summer enrichment opportunities, internships and leadership development workshops. We extend our thanks and appreciation to Sandra E. Timmons for her tireless leadership as President of the organization over the past sixteen years. While Sandra concluded her tenure in January 2020, her impact will long be felt. The 8,432 Scholars who matriculated to A Better Chance during her tenure, are a testament to her legacy as a champion of educational access and diversity in our nation. This annual report is dedicated to our resilient Scholars who are still valiantly pursuing transformative educational opportunities in the face of adversity. Their work is not in vain. One day, our talented students will become the leaders our society desperately needs and help form a more equitable society for all.

We are persistent in our efforts to match the diversity of our country in our Member Schools by enlisting students across a wide spectrum of languages, ethnicities, genders, socioeconomics and parental education level.

Caroline Pratt: Progressive Pedagogy In Statu Nascendi By Jeroen Staring This article explores two themes in the life of Caroline Pratt, founder of the Play School, later the City and Country School. These themes, central to Harriet Cuffaro’s values as a teacher and scholar, are Pratt’s early progressive pedagogy, developed during experimental shopwork between 1901 and 1908; and her theories on play and toys, developed while observing children play with her Do-With Toys and Unit Blocks between 1908 and 1914. Focusing on her early and previously unexplored writings, this article illustrates how Caroline Pratt developed a coherent theory of innovative progressive pedagogy. Figure 1 (left).

  • Massachusetts Grade 7 Immunization Survey Results 2013-2014
    Massachusetts Grade 7 Immunization Survey Results 2013‐2014 The Massachusetts Department of Public Health Immunization Program is pleased to make available the 2013‐2014 Massachusetts grade 7 immunization survey results by school. Please be aware that the data are limited in a number of ways, including those listed below. Data release standards do not allow for data to be shared for schools with fewer than 30 reported students in grade 7. Schools that reported fewer than 30 students in grade 7 are indicated (†). Not all schools return their survey. Schools without data due to non‐response are indicated (*). Data were collected in the fall, but immunization data are often updated throughout the year and rates (during the same school year) may be higher than reported due to additional children receiving immunizations or bringing records to school. Also, the student body is dynamic and as students arrive and leave school, the immunization rates are impacted. Children are allowed a medical or religious exemption to one or more vaccines. Children without the required number of doses of vaccine do not necessarily have an exemption on file. Children without a record of vaccination, but with serologic proof of immunity to certain diseases (measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis b and varicella), meet school entry requirements, but may not be counted as vaccinated. All data are self‐reported by the schools and discrepancies may exist. The Immunization Program continues to work with schools to resolve discrepancies and update immunization data,

  • Progressive Education
    PROGRESSIVE EDUCATION Lessons fronn the Past and Present Susan F. Semel, Alan R. Sadovnik, and Ryan W. Coughlan Progressive education is one of the most enduring educational reform move­ ments in this country, with a lifespan of over one hundred years. Although as noted earlier, it waxes and wanes in popularity, many of its practices now appear so regularly in both private and public schools as to have become almost mainstream. But from the schools that were the pioneers, what useful ■ lessons can we learn? The histories of the early progressive schools profiled in ■part 1 illustrate what happened to some of the progressive schools founded in I jhe first part of the twentieth century. But even now, they serve as important reminders for educators concerned with the competing issues of stability and change in schools with particular progressive philosophies—reminders, spe­ cifically, of the complex nature of school reform.' As we have seen in these histories, balancing the original intentions of progressive founders with the known demands upon practitioners has been the challenge some of the schools have met successfully and others have not. As contemporary American educators consider the school choice movement, the burgeoning expansion of charter schools, and the growing focus on stan- dards-based testing and accountability measures, they would do well to look back for guidance at some of the original schools representative of the “new education.” Particularly instructive. The Dalton School and The City and 374 SUSAN F. SEMEL ET AL. Country School are both urban independent schools that have enjoyed strong and enduring leaders, well-articulated philosophies and accompanying ped­ agogic practice, and a neighborhood to supply its clientele.
