Source:http://education.newamerica.net/sites/newameric...
Date:2009
Organization:New America Foundation
Short Description:This report recommends ten ways to incorporate college readiness proposals into federal legislation.
Annotation:Clearly, the nation needs a new approach to Pk-16 reform, with the federal government providing the leverage to promote change. The No Child Left Behind Act and the Higher Education Act provide opportunities for federal policymakers to promote college readiness and high-quality remediation pre- and post-college admission. Leveraging limited federal resources in both the short and long term will create conditions for deep and lasting reform. To accomplish this, this report recommends ten ways to incorporate college readiness proposals into federal legislation.
