Abstract | Through its High Schools That Work initiative, the Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) has worked with states and schools to improve students' academic and technical achievement. Through this initiative, the SREB has defined what really matters in helping students achieve. This report addresses eight "things that matter most" in raising student achievement and recommends state policies and leadership initiatives for putting these things into practice. These "things that matter most" include: (1) students taking "the right academic courses"; (2) schools offering quality career/technical courses; (3) more students meeting curriculum and performance standards; (4) teachers engaging students in completing challenging assignments; (5) everyone supporting high expectations; (6) students getting extra help in meeting higher standards; (7) schools offering a supportive guidance system; and (8) teachers working together. This report offers practical suggestions for state policymakers and educational leaders who are in a position to put the "things that matter most" into practice for improving student performance.
