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.


In July 2003, the then governor and superintendent of Michigan asked Achieve to review the state's English language arts and math content expectations by comparing them to the best standards from other states and nations and providing recommendations for improvement. Achieve suggested concrete ways in which the state could improve the clarity, specificity, grade-to-grade progression and rigor of its standards.
