Eliminating general and remedial tracks.

Providing students the support they need to meet college- and career-prep standards.

Ending curriculum anarchy with clear instructional goals at classroom and school levels.

Focusing teachers collectively on research-based instructional practices.

Implementing formative assessments and student interventions that lead to higher achievement.
