Overview
Achieving the Dream, a network of more than 200 colleges in 35 states, works to help over 4 million students complete their degrees and thus have a better chance of realizing greater economic opportunity. This organizational effectiveness grant supports their internal work to deepen awareness, knowledge, skill, and capacity about educational equity. Helping our grantees become more aware, prepared and competent around internal issues of equity will ensure that their field-focused work - and the field of education more broadly - reflects the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Grants to this Grantee
for support of Tennessee open education statewide initiative
Achieving the Dream is a partner and champion of hard-working leaders at more than 300 community colleges across the country. With this grant, Achieving the Dream will work in close partnership with the Tennessee Board of Regents and SRI Education to study how colleges take advantage of OER and OER-enabled instructional practices to transform teaching and learning. This study, the second of two phases, will document how professional development facilitates the use of OER-enabled teaching practices, examine the outcomes of students enrolled in OER courses, and offer insights into how the implementation of these practices can be organized at the state level.
