This second meeting in a series offers an opportunity for K–12 and
higher education leaders in the 14 states collaborating on this new
assessment to discuss early results on the exam, and implications for
policy, instruction and college placement. If you are from one of these
states (AR, AZ, HI, IN, KY, MD, MA, MN, NC, NJ, OH, PA, RI, and WA) and

Center for Policy Analysis at (202) 939-9551 or policy@ace.nche.edu.
America can only restore value to the high school diploma if higher
education works closely with secondary education to clearly define
standards for college readiness and translate those standards into
curricula and assessments that are broadly adopted and recognized by
high schools and colleges.
To advance this agenda, ACE is partnering with a leading organization
dedicated to improving college readiness, Achieve Inc., as well as State
Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO) and the National Association
of System Heads (NASH).
This project is designed to help states define and enforce high
school standards that prepare students to succeed in college and the
workplace. Our goal is to raise awareness and spur increased engagement
among college presidents and other senior campus leaders through
meetings and publications over the course of two years, targeting
leaders in the 33 American Diploma Project (ADP) Network states.
