Three to Third

Three to Third has a simple creed: the earlier the intervention, the better. By focusing on specific goals and affordable methods, this initiative seeks a sustainable solution to the adolescent achievement gap. The organization is cognizant of a family’s crucial role in their child’s social, emotional and cognitive development.   In conjunction with Boston and Cambridge public school administrators, Three to Third is working on establishing stronger relationships between parents and teachers. With innovative tactics such as teacher home-visits, parent reading contracts, and tangible goals like vocabulary improvement, Three to Third is a vanguard of enhanced early intervention.  The innovative new program is a joint effort of Harvard’s graduate schools of education, public health, and medicine.
