Closing the Expectations Gap 2007. An Annual 50-State Progress Report on the Alignment of High School Policies with the Demands of College and Work
Achieve, Inc.
This survey updates the efforts of all 50 states to align their high school standards, graduation requirements, assessments, and accountability systems with the demands of college and work, and finds that at least 48 states are now actively engaged in reform efforts of some kind. There is more momentum in the states now than at any time since education reform became a national priority with the release of "A Nation at Risk" in 1983. (Contains 15 endnotes.)
