Scaling Practices that Remove Barriers to Success
Founded in 2018, Strong Start to Finish is a network of policy and research partners, institution and systems leaders and foundations advancing system reforms in developmental education. We work with higher education systems to scale evidence-based reforms in developmental education, ensuring every student can succeed in credit-bearing English and math courses during their first year of college. Our efforts focus on supporting students whose talents and potential have not been fully recognized or supported by traditional systems, including those from under-resourced communities and returning adult learners.
Strong Start to Finish is supported by Education Commission of the States, an education policy organization that conducts research, delivers reports, provides expert counsel on policy issues and convenes education leaders.
