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.
Sustainability
To help state leaders over the long run, Achieve launched Taking Root: Strategies for Sustaining the College- and Career Ready-Agenda.
The resources include:
- Four case studies that examine both the governmental and non-governmental strategies that were effective in making reform last in Indiana, Massachusetts, South Carolina and Texas.
- A lessons learned paper that draws on and synthesizes the case studies' ten overarching lessons and strategies for sustainability.
- An audit tool that states can use in their own planning.
