Strategies
Overview
This project would encourage the K-12 and postsecondary sectors to share ownership of college-readiness standards and promote their use in decisions about students’ readiness for college-level work. We initiated this effort with the Lumina and Gates foundations and the Carnegie Corporation to promote use of the Common Core standards. The student-centered goals are to reduce the need for remedial college classes and increase students’ success in attaining credentials; the larger policy goal is to increase higher education’s use of the assessments in placing students. The latter would help to legitimize the "college readiness" of the assessments and incent state K-12 systems to adopt and implement them with fidelity.

for Fund for Shared Insight
Fund for Shared Insight, a fiscally sponsored project of Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors, is a national funder collaborative seeking to improve philanthropy by centering the people and communities at the heart of its work. Shared Insight believes those impacted by funder decisions, but often least consulted, can offer unique and valuable insight into how to bring about lasting, meaningful change that improves lives in ways people deï¬ne for themselves. The collaborative is committed to the kind of listening, partnering, and learning that values lived expertise, shifts power, and leads to more equitable outcomes. This grant provides flexible program support for Fund for Shared Insight.
