Achieve prepared the "Race to the Top: Accelerating College and Career Readiness" guides to help state leaders understand the connection between the major assurance areas and college- and career-ready reforms. This brief focuses on the issue of teacher effectiveness.

Achieve developed this guide to suggest ways that postsecondary systems, institutions and others can support states as they developed plans for the federal Race to the Top (RTTT) competition.

To help state leaders build strategies for sustaining their education agendas over the long run, Achieve launched "Taking Root: Strategies for Sustaining the College- and Career-Ready Agenda," generously funded by the GE Foundation.

Achieve’s Taking Root: Strategies for Sustaining the College- and Career-Ready Agenda identified ten overarching strategies for states to consider as they work to ensure their college- and career-ready agenda will be sustained. This audit distills those ten strategies into seven indicators, which are all strongly associated with sustainable reform. States are encouraged to use this audit to evaluate the strength of their political, social, and economic conditions necessary to sustain the college- and career-ready reforms. The goal of the audit is to highlight states’ strengths and weaknesses and help them prioritize the areas in which they may need to devote additional time and resources.
