In alignment with CSI's mission to promote strategies that advance educational equity for Massachusetts students - particularly those traditionally or currently underserved, CSI is currently involved in the following efforts that directly support students:

METCO

A $23 million dollar state-funded school integration program to expand educational opportunities, increase diversity, and reduce racial isolation by permitting students from Boston to and Springfield to attend public schools in other communities that have agreed to participate.


Acceleration Academies

An Acceleration Academy is a week-long academic program designed to accelerate student learning through engaging, standards-aligned lessons that meet the specific academic needs of students participating in the program.


Continuum of Services for Advanced Learning

The Continuum of Services for Advanced Learning guidebook provides district and school leaders guidance on how to utilize the multi-tiered system of support (MTSS) framework and talent development principals to serve all students, including students with advanced learning needs.
