Over the years, BPE (and its predecessor, the Boston Plan for Excellence) has learned a lot about what it takes to help teachers improve their practice and schools increase outcomes for all students. We are constantly learning and aim to be transparent about what works and what doesn’t, helping to spread effective practices and increase understanding about the complex challenges facing our schools and the most promising solutions to address them.
- One way we expand knowledge is through our publications and resources for teachers, school leaders, and those interested in improving schools.
- With BPE News, we keep the Boston community and friends around the country up to date on what we are learning and what efforts are making a difference for Boston students. Subscribe.
Our goal is to drive exceptional outcomes for all Boston students—and to help others do the same for students in their cities. In that spirit, all of our tools and resources are available for public consumption and adaptation. Please make use of any resources of this website, crediting BPE where appropriate.
