Overview
The Center for American Progress is an independent, nonpartisan institute that develops progressive ideas, critiques policy, and seeks to shape media coverage of—and foster a national discussion on—educational reform among other issues. Its proposed research project will address how states and districts can (1) fund education standards, tests, and curricula for college- and career-readiness; (2) provide the technology supports required by new standards and assessments; and (3) assess the full range of skills and knowledge demanded by new standards. This project will result in a report, and related outreach, that will give states and districts a useful, supporting framework for discussing and implementing plans that advance these goals.

for the Energy and Environment Program
The Center for American Progress’ Energy and Environment Program is charting an equitable and just path to a 100% clean economy. Over the next two years, the center will support swift implementation of federal legislation to ensure effective deployment of federal climate investments and ambitious fulfillment of the regulatory requirements of the Clean Air Act. It will also continue to demonstrate to Americans that bold climate action will produce tangible benefits, in addition to decarbonization. The center plays an important role in building consensus around priorities for decarbonization among environmental, environmental justice, and labor organizations. (Substrategy: U.S. National Policy)
