All students should graduate from high school ready for college, careers, and citizenship.


The ADP Leadership Team Meeting took place September 10-11, 2009 at the Fairmont Hotel in Washington, DC. The goal of the annual meeting was to give states a significant opportunity to address key challenges and opportunities associated with moving the college and career-ready policy agenda forward. Participants had time to engage with national experts, learn from colleagues in other states, and meet in state teams to plan next steps in their ongoing efforts to advance the ADP policy goals.
Joanne Weiss, Director of the Race to the Top Fund at the U.S. Department of Education, spoke to the ADP Network about the goals, expectations and timeline of the $4.3 billion-Fund, with a special focus on the power of state-led coalitions and the Fund’s alignment with the college- and career-ready agenda.
