🚨 New NAEP scores were released today and they are a disaster. 12th grade, plus 8th grade science. 🚨

The headline: “High school seniors had the worst reading scores since 1992”

@AEI @WesleyWhistle @MichelleDimino argues that Congress should build on recent accountability improvements with additional standards for student outcomes, while providing targeted support for colleges that demonstrate a clear commitment to the success of their students: https://t.co/m9PBrbndGl

[Preston Cooper @PrestonCooper93]

Good morning! I'm excited to share a series of reports that @AEI has commissioned on higher education accountability. Our six authors are a bipartisan group with varying approaches to the issue, but all share a commitment to making college a better deal for students.

[Washington Post Opinions @PostOpinions]

"Despite any reasonable hesitations about the program’s design, states have an offer in hand that comes with unprecedented flexibility for directing federal dollars toward their educational goals."

My colleague @MichelleDimino has a vitally important message to blue states: do NOT opt out of free federal money for education.
