Reinventing Public Schools: More and Better Learning Time Initiative

The MBLT Initiative aims to transform public education in neighborhoods facing concentrated poverty by ensuring equitable access to more and better learning time. This approach focuses on creating positive school climates, engaging stakeholders, and developing supportive policies. Implementation involves four key stages: creating conditions for learning, ensuring access, preparing students for future opportunities, and scaling MBLT as the “new normal.” Through collaboration and targeted resources, the initiative prepares students for college, career, and civic participation.
