Research Spotlight: The Impact of Ninth-Grade Ethnic Studies on Attainment

How did one ninth-grade class curriculum increase students’ overall engagement in school, probability of graduating, and likelihood of enrolling in college? Join To&Through Project on Tuesday, March 1 at noon (CST) to learn about new research on how offering an ethnic studies course to ninth-graders in the San Francisco Unified School District fostered these outcomes.
