The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) is planning to release the READY accountability report on November 7. An analysis of the initial impact of the new standards indicates that we should expect to see lower scores in 2013 because there has been a shift in focus from grade-level readiness to a higher standard of career and college readiness.
Read the READY Accountability Background Brief for more history and details.
View a 2.5 minute video, which uses animation of the READY logo to tell the story of why North Carolina raised standards in public schools.
