LEOMINSTER, MA — In an effort to gain a better understanding of how to better prepare its students for success in college and beyond, the city’s public schools are taking part in an initiative to evaluate the effectiveness of new teaching techniques.

“We are constantly developing innovative strategies to prepare students for college and career, and we are beginning to collect data that indicates we are moving in a positive direction,” Superintendent of Schools Jim Jolicoeur said.

“We are constantly developing innovative strategies to prepare students for college and career, and we are beginning to collect data that indicates we are moving in a positive direction,” Superintendent of Schools Jim Jolicoeur said.

“Our challenge is to continue to sustain our innovative and entrepreneurial work to meet our objective of preparing every Leominster student for success,” he added.

Jolicoeur said a team of local educators traveled to Boston University in early March to begin the project, which will be led by Patricia Woodliff, a school-to-career specialist with the district.
