Behind a DREAM education

 

 

A recent New York Times article asked education experts to rate 30 approaches to improving schools, considering both their potential impact and cost. We loved what our friends at KIPP did in response to the article and wanted to follow with a similar take on how the top 10 interventions listed by the New York Times take shape at DREAM. Together, these practices reflect our whole-child approach and the everyday work of helping students learn, grow, and have thriving lives.

 

DREAM

DREAM started in 1991 as Harlem RBI, a volunteer-run Little League for 75 kids in East Harlem. Three decades later, the organization serves 2,500 youth across East Harlem and the South Bronx through a growing network of inclusive, extended-day, extended-year charter schools and community sports-based youth development programs. By developing an education model that is responsive to the unique academic and social needs of every child, DREAM is creating a future where all children are equipped to fulfill their vision of success.
