Leveraging the Every Student Succeeds Act to Improve Educational Services in Juvenile Justice Facilities | Finding the Best Practices for Improvement in Massachusetts

This brief of the Every Student Succeeds Act highlights Massachusetts for a project created to measure the best practices and outcomes for youth in the juvenile justice system, Youth Outcomes Project (YOP). Rather than keeping facilities and programs accountable, this project seeks only to discover what works the best for youth. By differentiating between phases of a student’s involvement in the juvenile justice system, YOP is able to document contributions and outcomes of educational and workforce developmental services.
