Roadmap for Reform
Technology has transformed the way we live, work and play. It has expanded access to knowledge and expedited communications, increased productivity and efficiency, improved our quality of life, and strengthened our economy. A decade ago, creating a customized education for each of America’s 55 million students was just a dream. Today, that dream can become a reality.
The Roadmap for Reform provides governors, lawmakers, and policymakers tangible steps to building an environment where transformation of education can occur, creating a system where every student graduates from high school with the skills and knowledge to succeed in college and careers.
