  D emands on students are increasing as never before. The changing character of society and today's information and technology-based economy are driving new questions about what students should know and be able to do when they graduate. Expectations are rising, not just for students but for schools and communities too. If we want students to succeed, we need to take action.

While the national conversation about student achievement often focuses narrowly on students' abilities to perform well on standardized tests, school boards must work to define achievement in ways that are meaningful to the communities they represent.

This website outlines the role of school boards as they work with their communities and district professionals to set this vision and bring it to fruition. Each section of the site includes:

  • key actions
  • engagement strategies
