Achieve has released a new guide collection called the Race to the Top: Accelerating College and Career Readiness guides to help state leaders take advantage of the competitive aspect of Race to the Top Fund (RTTT). Through the American Diploma Project (ADP) Network, Achieve is working in partnership with 35 states to build momentum and urgency for action. The guides look at RTTT through a college and career ready lens, offering specific advice and promising practices to help ADP Network leaders build on the work they have already begun and maximize the new opportunities presented through RTTT. In four separate briefs, Achieve shares recommendations for meeting the Race to the Top challenge and pushing above and beyond the minimum criteria in each of the four core reform areas states are asked to address in their RTTT reform plans:
- Standards and Assessments
- P-20 Longitudinal Data Systems
- Teacher Effectiveness
- Low-Performing Schools
