LEARNING RESEARCH

Because councils exist to improve student achievement, we pay close attention to the best ideas for helping students from all backgrounds learn at high levels. We've designed products to help councils put those ideas to work.

> STUDENT WORK KIT
Engaging and challenging student work is a crucial step in getting to proficiency. It's mentioned regularly in research and appears at least five times in Kentucky's Standards and Indicators for School Improvement. Our kit shares a complete process for schools with an analysis tool that help faculty teams begin looking at this issue immediately. MEMBERS $25; NON-MEMBERS $45

> STUDENT WORK ANALYSIS TOOL
After working through the process in our kit described above, some schools want to continue the process with a fresh stock of our analysis tool. This resource is available at a bulk rate. Contact us to find out more.

> DISABILITY GAP CARDS
Our achievement gap strategies cards highlight real approaches for serving students flagged when examining disability achievement gaps. Ideas from leaders in boosting student achievement. If you want real strategies for serving students with disabilities, these cards are for you. MEMBERS $20; NON-MEMBERS $35

> BACK ISSUES OF INSIGHTS
Our newsletter is designed to give council members practical advice. Many councils use back issues as a helpful guide on basic issues. Copies of each issue are $7 for members, $12 for non-members
