New Rules: Policies to Meet Attainment Goals and Close Equity Gaps
Complete College America
In 2016, "New Rules: Policies to Strengthen and Scale the Game Changers" was published. In a sea of policy briefs and white papers, policymakers still lacked the tools they needed to do effective college completion work. Since the first version of this resource was published, a lot has changed: (1) After years of efforts to raise awareness, a critical mass of policymakers now openly acknowledge the economic and social imperatives to permanently close achievement gaps for low-income students and students of color; (2) Research emerged to identify discrete things students can do to gain momentum toward graduation day; (3) States and regions realized that meeting attainment goals requires significant numbers of returning adults; (4) Free-tuition "Promise Programs" proliferated across the country; and (5) Complete College America's implementations of Game Changers revealed an optimal sequence, moving us beyond an a la carte approach. In "New Rules 2.0," existing sections have been updated with new policies and new exemplars. New sections have been added to address student momentum and returning adults. Information in Money and Metrics now includes an architecture for Promise Programs to ensure that they are built for completion. The focus on equity from the first version has been retained, but the content has been enhanced with even more specifics.
