Personalized Pathways

Nationally and in Ohio, we work to promote policies and practices that help children born into poverty transcend their disadvantages and enter the middle class as adults, with a particular focus on what role our schools can play. Through publications, events, and commentary, we advocate for proven paths to the middle class, including high-quality career and technical education, a focus on high-achieving disadvantaged students, and the "Success Sequence."

Resources:

  • Education for Upward Mobility
  • The Education for Upward Mobility Conference
  • Career and Technical Education in High School: Does It Improve Student Outcomes?

Our many upward-mobility-related blog posts are listed below.
