Race to The Top Pushed by US Dept of Education
U.S. Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan has released the final application for over $4 billion from the Race to the Top Fun. The fund will reward the states that have raised the performance of their students and who have the ability to accelerate achievement gains using clever reforms.
The grants awarded to the winning states will lead the way toward reform and will guide the way for the rest of the country to follow. The U.S. Dept of Education has asked states to come up with coherent plans built around the areas of reform that are outlined in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.
States must provide documentation regarding any success they have had in the past and they must also outline their plans to push their reforms by using college standards in order to build a workforce and high quality educators.
The final application makes it clear that states must use several measures to evaluate teachers and staff and also states that a strong emphasis must be put on the growth in the achievement of their students.
