Overview
Council for a Strong America is an umbrella for five membership organizations composed of leaders from the business, military, and other sectors that work on public policy issues. The council will continue outreach to provide policymakers and the public with information about the gap between the skills students currently attain in school and what they will need for postsecondary, civic, and employment success. The council’s work, led by its ReadyNation initiative, draws attention to the need for updated definitions of college- and career-readiness, aligned testing, and better accountability systems, all of which foster systemic reform and strengthen educators’ ability to teach deeper learning skills.
