Understanding the Impact of Poverty on Student Outcomes - LEAP Online Training Module
The Leading Educational Access Project (LEAP) was created in response to research showing that Massachusetts low-income students are far more likely to be found eligible for special education services than other students. Low-income students who are identified as eligible are also more likely to be educated in substantially separate classes and activities.
This online interactive training module was developed by DESE and guided by partnership work with LEAP districts and collaboratives. It is intended to deepen understanding of the impact that poverty can have on student performance. It can be used to support group or individual learning.
