Grants to this Grantee
for developing tools to guide school district selection of Common Core teaching materials
This organization of the country’s largest urban school districts proposes to partner with the Common Core authors—Student Achievement Partners—to ensure widespread adoption of high-quality standards for textbooks and teaching materials aligned to the Common Core. This grant would advance our goal of raising standards for classroom materials.
for an evaluation project
Council of the Great City Schools (Washington, DC) is an existing grantee. This grant will enable them to hire an outside evaluation firm to help track and document the outcomes of their Key Performance Indicators project with member school districts and to build capacity within the grantee organization to maintain rigorous evaluation practices over time. (New, $70,000/20 months; 100% of project budget)
