Achieve
Accountability: Turning Around Low-Performing Schools is published by Achieve, the group launched by governors and CEO's to promote standards-based education reform. This short policy brief offers recommendations for improving really bad schools. It explains how to identify those schools and how to go about assisting and/or reconstituting them. Another short new report, Standards and Accountability: Strategies for Sustaining Momentum, summarizes the proceedings of a two-day forum that Achieve organized to take stock of the standards movement and develop strategies for moving forward. Both papers can most easily be obtained by surfing to http://www.achieve.org/achieve/achievestart.nsf#policy_briefs or phoning Achieve at 202-624-1460.
