Take advantage of our resources to engage your schools and your communities in the important national campaign – Redefining Ready! 

Our campaign seeks to equip school administrators with the necessary resources to easily implement the new college and career readiness metrics at high schools across the nation.  We have also created sample resolutions to help education advocates and government leaders support our initiative.
