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.
The College- and Career-Ready Agenda
Achieve is strongly committed to ensuring all students graduate from high school “college and career ready” or, in other words, fully prepared academically for any and all opportunities they choose to pursue.
To achieve this goal, states need a coherent and aligned policy framework anchored in the goal of graduating all students ready for credit-bearing, college-level coursework and the 21st-century workplace. The policy framework must, at a minimum, include college- and career-ready standards, graduation requirements, assessments, and data and accountability systems and have strong alignment with policies set in the postsecondary and economic development sectors.
