After 24 years in the K-12 education space, Achieve has shut its doors. Read the statement from Michael Cohen, President of Achieve here.
Our website www.achieve.org will remain available through December 31, 2020.
Former Achieve science team members have founded the NextGenScience project at WestEd where they will continue working with educators and partners across the nation to improve the quality of science education. Please visit their website and @NextGenScience to learn more about their work. They will continue to serve as stewards of the NGSS, sharing resources with the field through the nextgenscience.org website, NGSSNow newsletter, and @OfficialNGS.
All students should graduate from high school ready for college, careers, and citizenship.
Career Readiness
The economic projections are clear: the majority of jobs – and the vast majority of “good” jobs that pay a solid wage and offer pathways to advancement – require education and training beyond high school.
Achieve has a number of reports that further explore the link between a strong K-12 academic foundation – as articulated by college- and career-ready standards or expectations – and students’ ability to access and succeed in the careers of their choice.
